EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time - the intense spectacle of cockfighting in Bali on the 14th of December, 1946. The two birds locked in combat, their feathers ruffled and beaks poised for battle, epitomize the raw energy and primal nature of this controversial sport. Published originally in Picture Post magazine, this image by Kurt Hutton is a testament to his keen eye for capturing unique oddities from around the world. In this square format photograph, Hutton skillfully portrays both the beauty and brutality inherent in cockfighting. Set against a backdrop of Southeast Asian scenery, with Bali's vibrant culture as its stage, this image offers a glimpse into an ancient tradition that has divided opinions for centuries. While some view it as a recreational pursuit deeply rooted in local customs and traditions, others see it as an act of violence towards animals. The absence of people within the frame allows us to focus solely on these fierce competitors - symbolizing not only their strength but also raising questions about animal welfare. As we contemplate this archival piece through our modern lens, it serves as a reminder of how human interests intersect with animal themes throughout history. Displayed proudly at home or office spaces alike, this thought-provoking print invites viewers to reflect upon cultural practices while appreciating Kurt Hutton's artistic vision captured during one fateful day on the island paradise known as Bali.
