EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Georges Bendrihem, we are transported back to the year 1980, where the excitement and anticipation of the Paris-Dakar Rally fills the air. Standing proudly in front of the iconic Eiffel Tower on January 1st, a group of rally men gather at Trocadero esplanade for the commencement of this legendary race. The vertical composition emphasizes both the monumentality of the Eiffel Tower and the towering ambitions of these fearless competitors. As they prepare themselves and their vehicles for what lies ahead, there is an undeniable sense of determination etched upon their faces. The atmosphere crackles with adrenaline as engines rev and tires screech in readiness for action. This snapshot captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents a fusion between two worlds – that of urban sophistication represented by Paris' most famous landmark, juxtaposed against rugged adventure symbolized by these powerful machines ready to conquer harsh terrains across continents. Georges Bendrihem's lens skillfully encapsulates both individuality and unity within this diverse group united under one common goal: triumphing over every obstacle encountered during this grueling journey from Europe to Africa. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we cannot help but feel inspired by these brave souls who embody courage, resilience, and an unwavering spirit. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our insatiable thirst for exploration – reminding us that sometimes it takes stepping out into unknown territories to truly discover
