EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting photograph captures a moment in the bustling streets of Bombay (now Mumbai) in the second half of the 19th century. The image depicts a group of beggars, including women and children, who are living on the fringes of society, struggling to survive amidst poverty and misery. The faces of the subjects tell stories of hardship and resilience, their eyes reflecting a mix of despair and hope. The intricate details captured by the photographer reveal not only their physical appearance but also their inner emotions and struggles. In this snapshot frozen in time, we are confronted with the stark realities faced by those marginalized individuals who have been forced into a life of begging to make ends meet. The contrast between their tattered clothing and the bustling cityscape behind them serves as a poignant reminder of the disparities that exist within urban civilizations. As viewers, we are compelled to reflect on our own privilege and consider how we can contribute towards creating a more equitable society where everyone has access to basic necessities and opportunities for a better life. Through this powerful portrait, Raphael Chipault & Benjamin Soligny have captured not just an image but a profound social commentary that continues to resonate with audiences today.
