EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print captures the essence of North Africa's rich cultural heritage. In the bustling city of Marrakech, skeins of yellow, red, and dark wool are artfully hung out to dry under the scorching sun. The high angle view allows us to appreciate the mesmerizing sight from above. The image showcases a fascinating production process that has been passed down through generations in Morocco. It is a testament to the country's thriving textile industry and its mastery in dyeing techniques. The colourful display not only serves as a tourist attraction but also symbolizes the local craftsmanship and traditions deeply rooted in Moroccan culture. As we gaze upon this picturesque scene, we can almost feel ourselves transported into an open-air market known as souks, where these vibrant threads are traded among locals and visitors alike. The bright colours evoke a sense of joy and excitement, reflecting Morocco's lively atmosphere. Cecile Treal and Jean-Michel Ruiz have skillfully captured this moment with their photography expertise. Their lens beautifully highlights every detail - from the intricate lines formed by hanging skeins to the natural pigments used for dyeing. This image invites us to embark on a visual journey through Morocco's geographical locations while shedding light on its traditional methods of manufacturing textiles. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world, ancient crafts continue to thrive under the warm African sun.
