EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a Whirling dervish from Iran, taken by German photographer Friedrich Rosen around 1930. The image showcases a male dancer with long hair and an impressive moustache, exuding an air of mysticism and grace. The Whirling dervishes are followers of the Sufi order, known for their mesmerizing spinning rituals that symbolize spiritual enlightenment. In this portrait, the dervish is frozen mid-spin, his flowing robes creating a beautiful whirlwind effect as he surrenders himself to divine ecstasy. The intensity in his eyes reflects the deep devotion and connection to God that these practitioners seek through their whirling dance. Every movement is carefully choreographed to induce a trance-like state where they can transcend earthly boundaries and reach a higher spiritual plane. Rosen's skillful photography captures not only the physical beauty of this Iranian dancer but also conveys his inner journey towards enlightenment. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the composition, emphasizing both the physicality of the dancer's movements and his ethereal presence. This remarkable print from Persien in Wort und Bild offers us a glimpse into another time and culture while reminding us of our shared human quest for meaning beyond ourselves. It serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and cultural diversity, inviting viewers to appreciate the rich tapestry of traditions that exist across our world.
