EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing 14th century frescoes of the Holy Resurrection church in Mborja, a small town located in the Korca-area of Albania. The intricate artwork depicted on these ancient walls takes us back to a time when Eastern Orthodox Christianity flourished in this region. The vibrant colors and delicate brushstrokes used by the talented artists bring to life scenes from religious narratives, particularly focusing on the theme of resurrection. These frescoes serve as a visual testament to the deep-rooted faith and devotion that once thrived within these walls. The photograph not only captures the beauty and intricacy of these frescoes but also provides an insight into Albania's rich cultural heritage. It is a reminder of how art has transcended time and continues to be an integral part of our world today. As we admire this image, we are transported to another era - one marked by both religious significance and historical context. The presence of communist-era architecture surrounding the church serves as a stark contrast, reminding us of Albania's complex past. Walter Bibikow skillfully captures this juxtaposition between tradition and modernity through his lens, allowing us to appreciate both the timeless beauty preserved within these sacred walls and the ever-changing landscape that surrounds it. This print truly encapsulates not just Albanian history but also highlights its place within Europe's diverse tapestry.
