EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Madurai, a city in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. The year is 1965, and public transportation carriages dominate the scene. These horse-drawn carriages were once a common sight on the roads, serving as an essential mode of transport for locals. The image captures not only the physical aspect of these terrestrial mammals but also delves into deeper themes such as old age and psychological behavior. The horses' aged appearance reflects their long years of service, while also hinting at the resilience and strength they possess. In this snapshot, we witness a fascinating blend of human psychology and cultural anthropology. The presence of individuals on foot alongside these carriages showcases different parts of the body engaged in various activities - from barefoot pedestrians to fully clothed passengers. As our gaze moves beyond the immediate foreground, we notice lamp posts and power lines towering above, symbolizing progress juxtaposed against traditional methods of transportation. This street scene offers us a glimpse into daily life in Madurai during that era – a vibrant view filled with action and movement. The portrait-like composition allows us to observe individual features closely – beards adorning some faces reveal aspects related to masculinity or personal style choices. Moreover, it invites reflection on meditation practices prevalent among certain populations within India's diverse society. Quilici's lens expertly captures this moment frozen in time – an anthropological treasure that unveils both physiological and psychological aspects intertwined with everyday scenes from Madurai's past. Let this photograph transport you back to an era when horse-drawn carts ruled the roads amidst changing times yet preserving traditions rooted deep within Indian culture.
