EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by the talented photographer Quilici, Folco, we are transported back in time to 1977 Shanghai. The image showcases a group of dockers engrossed in their daily routines on a bustling pier. The scene is filled with an air of industriousness as these hardworking individuals go about their tasks, loading and unloading cargo from the ships that line the harbor. Their strong and weathered hands speak volumes about the laborious nature of their work, while their focused expressions reveal a sense of dedication and commitment. Amidst this backdrop of ceaseless activity, there is also a momentary respite for some dockers who have taken a break from their arduous duties. They gather together on the pier, sharing stories or perhaps simply enjoying each other's company during this brief interlude. Their relaxed postures exude camaraderie and solidarity amidst what can often be an unforgiving environment. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that beyond being mere workers fulfilling their responsibilities, these dockers represent more than just physical labor; they embody resilience and strength in the face of adversity. Quilici's masterful composition captures not only the essence of Shanghai's vibrant maritime industry but also offers us a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people whose tireless efforts contribute to its growth. This photograph serves as a testament to both human perseverance and collective spirit – qualities that transcend time and place. Through his lens, Quilici has immortalized an intimate moment within China's rich history – one where dockers find solace amidst relentless workloads on Shanghai's bustling pier.
