EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the vast expanse of the Tener desert, Sahara Africa, this print unveils a hidden gem nestled amidst the arid landscape. Entitled "Necropolis in Tener desert, Sahara" it transports us to a realm where time stands still and whispers of ancient civilizations echo through the windswept dunes. Taken by Filiberto Pittini in December 1977, this photograph immortalizes a necropolis that emerges from the barren sands like an enigmatic mirage. The necropolis itself is a testament to human ingenuity and reverence for departed souls. Its funerary structures stand as stoic guardians of memories long past, their architectural beauty harmonizing with the ruggedness of the surrounding desert. The composition invites contemplation as our gaze wanders across this non-Christian burial ground. Each structure tells its own story – weathered stone walls bear witness to centuries-old rituals while intricate carvings hint at forgotten customs and beliefs. As we explore further into this mesmerizing scene, we are reminded of humanity's universal quest for meaning and remembrance. Pittini's masterful capture not only showcases his artistic prowess but also offers us a glimpse into an unfamiliar world steeped in mystery and intrigue. The play between light and shadow accentuates every crevice and curve, enhancing our appreciation for both nature's grandeur and man's humble creations. This print from Alinari serves as more than just an aesthetic delight; it serves as a portal through which we can connect with history on a deeply personal level. It encourages us to reflect upon our own mortality while celebrating the enduring power of architecture against nature's relentless forces. In Pittini's lens, time becomes fluid – past converges with present, allowing us to transcend geographical boundaries and immerse ourselves in cultures far removed from our own. This evocative image beckons explorers at heart to embark on their own journey of discovery, where the secrets of the Sahara await those willing to listen.
