EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of life on Timor island in the 19th century. Stepping into the interior of a traditional Timorean house, we are transported to a world rich in culture and history. The French School artist beautifully depicts the everyday life of the native population, showcasing their unique way of living. The image showcases an intriguing homemade game being played by a Timorean player. Engrossed in his activity, he skillfully strategizes his moves on what appears to be an awale board. This glimpse into their leisure activities provides us with insight into their pastimes and social interactions. The colonial influence is subtly present within this indigenous setting, reminding us of the complex dynamics that existed during this era. It serves as a reminder that even amidst foreign influences, local traditions and customs remained resilient. Leonard de Selva's photography expertly captures not only the physical space but also evokes emotions tied to this distant time period. Preserved at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this photograph allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance. As we observe this remarkable image from Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of how art can transport us across time and space – connecting different civilizations through shared human experiences such as play and games.
