EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us on a journey to an ancient world, capturing the essence of an archaeological site in Kayseri, Turkey. The year is 1988, and through the lens of photographer Filiberto Pittini, we are transported back in time to witness the remnants of a civilization long gone. Kayseri, located in central Anatolia, has been home to numerous civilizations throughout history. This photograph showcases the rich heritage that lies beneath its surface - sites filled with excavations, monuments, and complexes that unravel stories from centuries past. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn to the intricate details etched into stone structures. Weathered by time yet still standing tall against all odds, these architectural marvels serve as silent witnesses to human ingenuity and creativity. The composition of this photograph beautifully captures both grandeur and mystery. Shadows dance across the ruins while sunlight peeks through cracks in ancient walls. The play between light and dark adds depth to every corner of this archaeological site. Pittini's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the larger structures but also smaller fragments scattered around them - pottery shards hinting at daily life or perhaps religious artifacts symbolizing beliefs held dear by those who once inhabited these grounds. In this single frame frozen in time, Pittini invites us to ponder over what once was: bustling streets filled with people going about their lives; ceremonies held within sacred spaces; whispers echoing through narrow alleyways. It reminds us that beneath our feet lie layers upon layers of history waiting patiently for curious minds like ours to uncover their secrets. This print serves as a testament not only to Kayseri's rich archaeological heritage but also as a reminder that there is always more than meets the eye when it comes to understanding our shared human story.
