EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The Wider Image: A peek through the curtains at China's two meetings" offers a rare glimpse into the inner workings of Chinese politics. Inside the majestic Great Hall of the People in Beijing, security agents clad in sleek black uniforms sit attentively on chairs, their presence adding an air of mystery and intrigue to this important gathering. The photograph was taken during sessions of both the National People's Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) on March 5,2016. In this visually striking composition by Damir Sagolj for Reuters Images, we see a creative use of light and shadow as well as unique angles that provide a view from above. The unrecognizable figures create an aura of anonymity while emphasizing their role in ensuring safety and security within these hallowed halls. The image also highlights various elements such as hands resting on armrests, uniformed shoes neatly aligned on the floor, and silhouettes against a backdrop reminiscent of traditional Chinese architecture. These details serve to underscore both orderliness and discipline amidst political deliberations. Overall, this thought-provoking snapshot encapsulates not only China's political landscape but also invites viewers to contemplate power dynamics within closed-door meetings where decisions shaping national policies are made.
