EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Tuamotu Islands. Manihi. Landscape of the lagoon" we are transported to the mesmerizing beauty of French Polynesia's Tuamotu Islands in 1955. The photographer, Quilici Folco, skillfully captures a breathtaking scene that immerses us in the serene and untouched nature of Manihi. The image showcases an expansive lagoon, its crystal-clear turquoise waters stretching as far as the eye can see. The calmness of the lagoon is juxtaposed against a vibrant sky painted with hues of orange and pink, hinting at the approaching sunset. It is a moment frozen in time, evoking a sense of tranquility and wonder. As we delve deeper into this photograph, our gaze is drawn towards small clusters of palm trees dotting the landscape surrounding the lagoon. These lush green oases provide shade and shelter for local flora and fauna while adding depth to an already picturesque panorama. The composition invites us to imagine ourselves standing on that very shore – feeling warm sand beneath our feet, listening to gentle waves caressing coral reefs nearby, and breathing in crisp ocean air tinged with hints of saltwater. Quilici Folco's lens has masterfully captured not just an exquisite natural setting but also encapsulated a moment from history when these islands were still relatively undiscovered by mass tourism. This print serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and a reminder of how precious these pristine landscapes are. Whether displayed on your wall or admired within private collections, this remarkable piece transports viewers into another world - one where time stands still amidst untouched beauty found only in remote corners like Manihi within French Polynesia's enchanting Tuamotu Islands.
