EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sunda Islands. Island of Bali. The quiet in dance (the story of Rama and the monkeys)" transports us to the enchanting world of Indonesia's Bali, capturing a moment steeped in rich cultural heritage. Taken by renowned photographer Folco Quilici in 1994, this image encapsulates the essence of traditional Balinese dance and storytelling. In this mesmerizing scene, we witness a group of dancers gracefully depicting the tale of Rama and the monkeys through their intricate movements. The performers' vibrant costumes adorned with ornate details add an extra layer of visual splendor to the composition. As they effortlessly glide across the stage, their expressions convey both intensity and serenity—a testament to their dedication as custodians of ancient traditions. The Sunda Islands have long been celebrated for their artistic prowess, particularly in dance forms that serve as vessels for mythological narratives passed down through generations. This photograph captures not only a fleeting moment frozen in time but also serves as a window into Bali's profound spiritual connection with its folklore. Quilici masterfully captures every nuance—the delicate gestures, expressive facial features, and dynamic poses—immersing viewers into this mystical performance that transcends language barriers. Through his lens, he invites us to appreciate not just the beauty but also the significance behind each movement—an invitation to delve deeper into Bali's cultural tapestry. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Alinari, we are reminded that art has no boundaries—it is timeless and universal. It allows us to connect with distant lands like Bali while fostering an appreciation for diverse cultures around our globe.
