EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Colonial Exhibition in Paris in 1907, specifically showcasing the entrance to the Cochinchine Village. The exhibition was a display of colonial power and influence, highlighting various cultures and peoples from around the world.
In this image, we see a glimpse into a time when human zoos were considered acceptable forms of entertainment. People from different ethnic backgrounds were put on display for visitors to gawk at, reinforcing harmful stereotypes and perpetuating colonial ideologies.
The intricate details captured by photographer Jaime Abecasis transport us back to a dark chapter in history when imperialism reigned supreme. The architecture of the village entrance reflects a blend of Asian influences, hinting at the exoticism that was often associated with colonized territories.
As we reflect on this image today, it serves as a stark reminder of the atrocities committed in the name of empire building. It prompts us to confront our past and strive towards creating a more equitable and just future for all peoples.
Jaime Abecasis's skillful photography allows us to engage with this historical moment on a deeper level, urging us to critically examine our collective history and work towards healing wounds inflicted by centuries of exploitation and oppression.
