EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo captured by Jean-Paul Pelissier, a seagull gracefully soars past a broken tower clock in Marseille, France. The dilapidated clock fails to indicate the correct time, frozen in an eternal moment of stillness. Against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, the low angle view emphasizes the grandeur and architectural beauty of the tower. This image beautifully juxtaposes nature and man-made structures as the seagull effortlessly navigates through the air, seemingly unaffected by time's constraints. The bird becomes a symbol of freedom and resilience amidst decay. The broken clock serves as a poignant reminder that time is not always reliable or constant. It invites us to question our perception of reality and challenges us to find meaning beyond conventional measures. With no people present in this scene, it allows viewers to immerse themselves fully into its atmosphere while contemplating their own relationship with time and their surroundings. This creative use of space encourages introspection and appreciation for both natural elements and human ingenuity. Pelissier's skillful composition captures not only an urban cityscape but also evokes emotions tied to flight, weather conditions, architecture, environment, and our ever-changing world. Through his lens, he presents us with an intriguing visual narrative that sparks curiosity about life's fleeting moments against timeless backdrops like this one in Marseille on January 24th, 2018.
