EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Pollution: tributary of the Po river, Tanaro Piedmont" taken by renowned photographer Folco Quilici in 1974, showcases a hauntingly beautiful yet alarming scene. The image captures the intersection of man-made structures and natural elements along the shores of the polluted Tanaro River. In this thought-provoking composition, Quilici skillfully juxtaposes various elements to convey a powerful message about environmental degradation. The photograph reveals an intricate network of naval and river transportation systems that dominate the landscape. These structures stand as silent witnesses to human intervention in nature's course. The wooded areas surrounding the riverbanks add an element of serenity but are overshadowed by a thick layer of pollution hovering above them. This striking contrast between pristine nature and industrial contamination serves as a stark reminder of humanity's impact on our planet. Quilici's lens captures not only physical pollution but also metaphorical pollution - highlighting how mankind has tainted one of Earth's most precious resources: water. The murky brown hues swirling within its currents symbolize both literal pollutants and societal neglect towards preserving our environment. While this photograph does not mention any specific company or commercial use, it speaks volumes about the urgent need for environmental awareness and action. It urges viewers to reflect upon their own role in protecting our planet from further harm. Through his masterful composition, Quilici invites us to confront uncomfortable truths about our relationship with nature while reminding us that we hold the power to change course. This evocative image stands as a timeless testament to both beauty lost and hope rekindled – urging all who gaze upon it to become catalysts for positive change in safeguarding our shared home, Earth.
