EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Tuamotu Islands. Meetings and hunt shark lagoon and sea" transports us back to the enchanting French Polynesia in 1955. Captured by the talented photographer Quilici, Folco, this image encapsulates the raw beauty of the Tuamotu Islands. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene, our eyes are immediately drawn to a group of locals gathered on a pristine sandy beach. Their faces tell stories of ancient traditions passed down through generations, their connection with nature palpable. The turquoise waters behind them shimmer under the radiant sunlight, creating an inviting contrast against the dark volcanic rocks scattered along the shore. Intriguingly, at closer inspection, we notice that some members of this community are preparing for a unique adventure - hunting sharks in these very waters. With spears held high and determination etched across their faces, they embark on a perilous journey into the unknown depths of the lagoon and sea. The composition skillfully captures both serenity and excitement simultaneously; it is as if time stands still while anticipation fills every breath. This photograph serves as a testament to human resilience intertwined with nature's untamed forces. Quilici's masterful technique brings forth an ethereal quality to this vintage print from Alinari. Each detail is meticulously preserved: from delicate ripples forming on water's surface to grains of sand clinging onto bare feet – all contributing to an immersive experience that transcends time itself. Through this remarkable piece of artistry by Quilici, Folco, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how communities once thrived harmoniously with their environment in French Polynesia's Tuamotu Islands – where meetings between people were not only social but also deeply rooted in survival instincts amidst breathtaking natural wonders.
