EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Aswan: gardeners and keepers of the temple in the island of Files" transports us back to Egypt in 1968. The renowned photographer Quilici, Folco skillfully captures a moment frozen in time on this enchanting island nestled within the majestic city of Aswan. In this mesmerizing image, we are immersed into a scene that exudes tranquility and reverence. A group of gardeners and keepers tend to the lush vegetation surrounding an ancient temple, their presence blending seamlessly with nature's vibrant palette. Their weathered faces tell stories of generations dedicated to preserving history and nurturing these sacred grounds. The composition is masterful; every element seems purposefully placed to create harmony between man-made structures and Mother Nature herself. The towering columns of the temple stand tall against a backdrop of palm trees swaying gently in the breeze. It is as if time has stood still here, allowing us a glimpse into an era long gone yet forever preserved through this photograph. Quilici's choice to present this image in black and white adds depth and texture, emphasizing both the timeless beauty of Aswan's landscape and its historical significance. The play between light and shadow accentuates intricate details carved into stone walls while casting an ethereal glow upon those tending to this sacred space. As we gaze at this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection, we cannot help but be transported back in time ourselves – imagining what life must have been like for these devoted individuals who dedicated their lives to safeguarding Egypt's rich heritage amidst such breathtaking surroundings.
