EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting world of cinema. The image features a male figure, his face adorned with a mysterious expression, wearing an elegant hat that adds an air of sophistication to his appearance. The subject's identity remains unknown, but it is evident that he played a significant role in the film "Tabu" directed and written by Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau. "Tabu" was filmed amidst the breathtaking beauty of Bora Bora, Tahiti in 1929, capturing the essence of this remote paradise on celluloid. This cinematic masterpiece took audiences on a mesmerizing journey through love, passion, and forbidden desires against the backdrop of French Polynesia's stunning landscapes. The photograph itself was taken much later in 1954 by Quilici Folco; it serves as both a testament to the enduring allure of this classic film and as an artistic portrayal of its enigmatic protagonist. Through careful composition and lighting techniques, Folco has managed to capture not only the physicality but also the essence of this unnamed character. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we are transported into another era - one where silent films reigned supreme and storytelling relied heavily on visual cues. It reminds us that even though decades have passed since "Tabu" first graced movie screens worldwide, its impact continues to resonate within our collective consciousness. Quilici Folco's masterful photography immortalizes not just one man or one film but rather encapsulates an entire era filled with creativity and innovation. It invites us to delve deeper into cinematic history while marveling at how artistry can transcend time itself.
