1492 n°XXI 2013

"1492 n°XXI" (2013) by Iseult Labote is a captivating photograph that captures a woman carrying a large bundle of dried tobacco leaves. The leaves, tightly bundled and hanging from her hands, obscure her face, creating a sense of anonymity and focusing attention on the labor-intensive task at hand. The image evokes themes of rural life, tradition, and the cyclical nature of agriculture. It also invites reflection on the complex relationship between people and the natural world, and the role of labor in shaping our lives and societies.
