Show moreThe place where the photograph was taken is likely to be either Barsa or al-Zubayr. One of the clobbers is looking right into the camera. The photographer established here a direct relationship with his subject; this approach, typical of modern street photography, highlights the different attitude of the Twentieth-century photographer against the classic orientalist artificial shooting of the previous century. The foreign photographer, we assume him to be a British officer working for the Arab Bureau, is no more a fleeting traveller, but rather a permanent actor that is now immerse in the local reality. Which might have been the feelings of local towards this new actor is somehow a matter that goes beyond the photographic field. Still, the look the protagonist of this shoot reserves to the camera tells us a story, a glimpse into a turning point time in Middle East history and politics.
