EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Uttar Pradesh, well" transports us to the heart of India's Uttar Pradesh region in 1965. With its impeccable composition and striking subject matter, this piece by Quilici Folco from Alinari captures the essence of both hydraulic structure and architectural beauty. At first glance, our eyes are drawn to a male figure standing proudly at the edge of an ancient well. His nude body is juxtaposed against the backdrop of lush vegetation and a towering tree that seems to reach for the heavens. The interplay between man and nature is palpable as we witness his connection with his surroundings. The intricate details showcased in this photograph highlight not only the craftsmanship behind this remarkable well but also its historical significance. Every stone seems to tell a story, whispering secrets from centuries past. The viewer cannot help but marvel at how such structures were built without modern machinery or technology. A rope hanging down into the depths of the well adds an element of mystery to this already enigmatic scene. What lies beneath? What tales does this deep abyss hold? These questions linger in our minds as we contemplate both the physical depth before us and metaphorical depths within ourselves. Quilici Folco's masterful eye has immortalized a moment frozen in time—a testament to human ingenuity, reverence for nature, and our eternal quest for knowledge. This print serves as a reminder that even amidst vast landscapes or grand architectural feats, it is often through intimate connections with our environment that we truly find ourselves.
