ALBUMEN AFRIASIA

A series of unusual documents that might be considered crude, but that can guarantee the genuineness of the source. Pictures about the Suez canal at the time of building which are not easy to be watched by a modern viewer. Pictures of the Shan ethnic group from Burma at the beginning of the last century, in addition to the images of the camel market in Aden, pictures of Egypt taken by the Zangaki and di Beato brothers, the Boxer Rebellion in China, beheadings, violent happenings that make us think that violence in the world has not decreased as time goes by. A visual experience to think about the slowness of events in the past, when information could take as long as months to reach Europe, traveling on boats or caravans. Cameras were already there and where capturing the moments.
