EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by the talented photographer Quilici, Folco in 1969, transports us to the enchanting Sunda Islands. Specifically, it captures a mesmerizing scene on the Island of Sumbawa in Indonesia. In this snapshot of time, we witness an Indonesian canoe gracefully gliding through the crystal-clear waters with remarkable ease. What truly sets this image apart is its anthropomorphic figurehead adorning the prow of the canoe. This intricately carved wooden sculpture adds a touch of mystique to an already picturesque setting. The figurehead's expressive features seem to come alive as if imbued with mythical powers that guide and protect those who venture into these vast seas. The rowers' synchronized movements are captured flawlessly by Quilici's lens, showcasing their expertise in maneuvering such traditional vessels. Their rhythmic strokes create ripples that harmonize with nature's gentle whispers – a testament to their deep connection with both land and sea. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can almost feel ourselves being transported back in time when ancient traditions were still deeply rooted within everyday life. It serves as a reminder of how culture intertwines seamlessly with nature in these remote corners of our world. Quilici's masterful composition allows us to appreciate not only the beauty surrounding these islands but also highlights humanity's profound relationship with its environment. Through his lens, he captures a moment frozen forever; one that encapsulates both serenity and adventure simultaneously. This stunning print from Alinari invites us on an evocative journey where history meets artistry and tradition merges effortlessly with modernity – all within the confines of one frame.
