EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in the bustling market of Houmt Souk, Djerba, Tunisia. Taken in 1987, the image depicts a man in traditional North African attire, wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat and a blue coat, taking a moment of respite beside a small food stall. The stallholder, seen through the glass of the stall, busily prepares dishes for customers. The market at Houmt Souk is a vibrant and colorful place, teeming with the sights, sounds, and smells of Tunisian life. The photograph captures the unique atmosphere of this North African marketplace, where the old world meets the new, and where the traditional way of life continues to thrive amidst the modern world. The man's relaxed posture and the warm glow of the sunlight filtering through the stall's awning create an intimate and inviting scene. The photograph invites us to step back in time and experience the rich cultural heritage of Djerba and Tunisia. The 1980s were a pivotal time in Tunisian history, as the country began to open up to the world and modernize. Yet, despite the changes, the markets of Houmt Souk remained a cherished reminder of the past. This photograph is a testament to the enduring spirit of the Tunisian people and their deep connection to their traditions and way of life.
