EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the traditional method of drying peat briquettes used for fuel in private homes in Birr, Leinster, Republic of Ireland. In this agrarian region of Europe, citizens take it upon themselves to dry these essential energy sources. The image showcases a vast field where the citizens cultivate and produce their own fuel material. Under the bright daylight, we witness individuals removing the wet peat from swamps and wetlands with shovels. This laborious process involves digging into the earth's floor to extract the valuable resource. Once removed, they meticulously arrange them on an outdoor space to dry naturally under the heat temperature. The photograph beautifully portrays how this ancient practice has become deeply ingrained in Irish culture and daily life. It offers a glimpse into a time-honored tradition that connects people with their land and heritage. With no people visible in the shot, our focus is solely on nature's bounty and man-made objects scattered across the landscape. The absence of commercial use emphasizes how this process is driven by self-sufficiency rather than profit-making motives. Through Klaus-Werner Friedrich's lens, we are transported to a simpler time when communities relied on their own resources for heating their homes. This evocative image serves as a reminder of humanity's deep connection with nature and its ability to sustain us even today amidst modern advancements in fuel production methods.
