EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Bihar, Drought" transports us back to the year 1965 in rural India. The image captures a moment of profound despair and hardship as the region grapples with the devastating effects of drought. In this striking portrait, we see a male figure whose face tells a story of immense psychological strain. His weathered features reflect not only the physical toll that years of farming under harsh conditions have taken on him but also reveal glimpses into his inner turmoil. The lines etched across his forehead and worry lines around his eyes speak volumes about the mental anguish he carries. The backdrop against which this man is captured further emphasizes the dire circumstances faced by Bihar during this period. Barren fields stretch out behind him, devoid of any signs of life or hope for sustenance. This stark landscape serves as a haunting reminder of how meteorological phenomena can shape human existence. Beyond its documentary value, this photograph delves deeper into themes related to anthropology and ethnography. It offers an intimate glimpse into the lives of Indians living in Bihar during that time – their resilience in facing adversity and their unwavering connection to their land despite its inhospitable nature. "Folco Quilici" masterfully captures both physiological and psychological aspects through this poignant portrayal. Through every line etched on our subject's face, we witness restlessness born out of worry for survival amidst unforgiving natural elements. As we contemplate this powerful image from Alinari's collection, it reminds us not only of past struggles but also serves as a timeless testament to humanity's ability to endure even in times when all seems lost - an enduring symbol capturing both individual strength and collective spirit within Bihar's hearth.
