EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1918, we witness the vibrant festivities of Palma de Mallorca in the Balearic Islands. The streets come alive as a procession of Caparrots and big heads parade through, immersing us in the rich customs and folklore of this Mediterranean culture. With their oversized masks and elaborate costumes, these characters embody the spirit of tradition and celebration. The scene captures a moment steeped in history, showcasing how religious festivals were intertwined with popular songs and dances. As they move to the rhythm of lively music, one can almost hear the melodies echoing through time. The horizontal composition allows us to appreciate every detail - from the intricate designs on their attire to the expressions hidden behind those larger-than-life masks. Santiago Ortega's lens has frozen this fleeting moment for eternity, preserving an important part of Majorca's heritage. This print serves as a window into a bygone era when communities would gather together to honor their traditions during annual feasts. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to 1918 Palma de Mallorca; captivated by its unique charm that continues to resonate today. Let it serve as a reminder that amidst our ever-changing world, there is immense value in cherishing our cultural roots and celebrating them with pride.
