EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Stefano Rellandini, we are transported to a local market in Gangneung, South Korea. The image showcases an array of dried fishes meticulously displayed for sale. The close-up shot allows us to observe the intricate details of each fish, highlighting their unique textures and shapes. The exterior setting adds an authentic touch to the scene, as natural light filters through the market stalls, casting a warm glow on the dried delicacies. However, despite its vibrant colors and artistic composition, there is an undeniable eerie quality that permeates the photograph. The juxtaposition of lifeless carcasses hanging in various positions creates a strangely creepy atmosphere. Yet beyond its initial unsettling impression lies a fascinating glimpse into the food industry and trade practices within this bustling fish market. It sparks curiosity about how these dried fishes are creatively used in traditional Korean cuisine or exported to other parts of the world. This thought-provoking image also prompts reflection on our relationship with nature and environment. With no people present in the frame, it emphasizes both human impact on animal life and our reliance on such resources for sustenance. Overall, Rellandini's skillful use of depth of field and out-of-focus elements adds depth and intrigue to this visually striking photograph—an evocative snapshot frozen in time that invites viewers to contemplate not only its aesthetic appeal but also broader themes surrounding culture, commerce, and our place within nature's cycle.
