EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Balocchi Vincenzo in 1961, we are transported to a moment frozen in time. The foreground of the image presents us with two intriguing subjects: a majestic horse head and a man peacefully asleep. The horse head, powerful and noble, dominates the frame with its strong features and graceful presence. Its well-defined muscles hint at its terrestrial nature, reminding us of the magnificent mammals that roam our planet. As we admire this equine beauty, we can't help but ponder on the intricate web of life that connects all vertebrates. Beside the horse stands a man lost in slumber, his vulnerability contrasting against the strength of his equine companion. This juxtaposition invites contemplation on themes such as age, maturity, and rest – essential functions for both human bodies and animals alike. As our gaze wanders through this composition, we notice various elements that add depth to the scene. A worn-out shoe lies nearby – an accessory symbolizing journeys taken or yet to be embarked upon. A beret rests atop the man's head; it speaks not only of fashion but also hints at possible aspects of his identity – civilian or military perhaps? Balocchi Vincenzo's masterful portrayal captures more than just physical appearances; he delves into physiological and psychological aspects too. Through this single snapshot frozen in time, he manages to evoke emotions within us - curiosity about these individuals' stories lingers long after viewing. This print from Alinari is not merely an image; it is an invitation to explore deeper layers within ourselves while appreciating the beauty found in unexpected moments like these – where horses dream alongside men.
