EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Nubia. The border with Sudan, a Muslim cemetery" captures the essence of a forgotten era in Egypt's Nubian region. Taken in 1968 by the talented photographer Quilici, Folco, this image transports us to the heart of Nubia's rich cultural heritage. In this poignant scene, we are transported to the border between Egypt and Sudan, where an ancient Muslim cemetery stands as a testament to centuries of history and tradition. The composition is strikingly beautiful yet hauntingly melancholic; it speaks volumes about the passage of time and the resilience of these communities. The photographer skillfully plays with light and shadow, creating a sense of depth that draws our eyes towards rows upon rows of weathered tombstones. Each one tells its own story - stories that have been etched into these sacred grounds for generations. As we gaze at this photograph, we cannot help but feel a profound connection to those who came before us. We are reminded that beneath our feet lies not only soil but also countless tales waiting to be discovered. Quilici's lens captures more than just physical structures; it captures emotions too. There is an undeniable sense of reverence in his work – he pays homage not only to those laid to rest here but also to their descendants who continue their legacy today. This print from Alinari serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document. It invites us on a journey through time while shedding light on cultures often overlooked or misunderstood. It reminds us that even in death, there is beauty worth preserving – beauty that transcends borders and unites humanity under shared experiences.
