EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Aswan. Iron mine on the Nile" transports us back to the enchanting landscapes of Egypt in 1968. Through the lens of renowned photographer Quilici, Folco, we are granted a glimpse into a moment frozen in time. The image captures an industrial scene along the majestic Nile River, showcasing an iron mine nestled amidst the natural beauty of Aswan. The juxtaposition between man-made structures and Mother Nature's splendor is strikingly evident here. The towering cliffs that frame this mining operation create a dramatic backdrop against which human ingenuity unfolds. Quilici's composition skillfully balances elements of light and shadow, emphasizing both the ruggedness of the terrain and its inherent allure. The play of sunlight on rippling water adds depth to this visual narrative, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in this timeless tableau. Intriguingly absent from this photograph are any signs of bustling activity or human presence within the mine itself. This absence allows our imagination to wander as we contemplate what might lie beneath those rocky surfaces - perhaps untapped riches or ancient secrets waiting to be unearthed. As we gaze upon this Alinari print, we cannot help but marvel at how it encapsulates not only a specific place but also an era long gone by. It serves as a testament to Egypt's rich history and its symbiotic relationship with its natural resources. Quilici's masterful capture invites us into his world for just a fleeting moment - one that encourages reflection on mankind's interaction with nature throughout time. This photograph stands as both artistry and documentation; it immortalizes an iron mine on the Nile while simultaneously reminding us of our own impermanence in relation to Earth's enduring wonders.
