EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "On the street, 'L'ultimo ciclista', Beijing (Peking), 2005" captures a moment frozen in time on the bustling streets of China's capital city. Taken by renowned photographer Folco Quilici, this image transports us to a vibrant urban landscape filled with life and movement. The focal point of the photograph is an old-fashioned street lamp that stands tall against the backdrop of modern architecture. Its warm glow illuminates the scene, casting intriguing shadows on the surrounding buildings and furnishings for civic spaces. The juxtaposition of traditional elements amidst a rapidly developing cityscape creates a sense of nostalgia and curiosity. In the foreground, we see a bus navigating through traffic on its daily route. This familiar sight reminds us of the constant motion and energy that defines metropolitan areas like Beijing. The road avenue becomes a stage where various scenes and methods of transportation converge - bicycles, cars, pedestrians all harmoniously coexisting. Quilici's keen eye captures not only architectural details but also human stories within this urban tapestry. Although unseen in this particular shot, "L'ultimo ciclista" translates to "the last cyclist" suggesting there may be more to discover beyond what meets the eye. This photograph serves as both an artistic expression and historical documentation of Beijing in 2005—an era marked by rapid growth and transformation. It invites viewers to reflect upon how cities evolve over time while preserving fragments of their past. As we admire this stunning composition captured by Quilici's lens, let us appreciate its beauty without commercial intentions or mention—simply allowing ourselves to be transported into this world where everyday moments become extraordinary works of art.
