José NICOLAS (1956) Helicopter landing of porpoises in Arta, Djibouti, 1990 Silver print On back, signed, titled, dated, located and numbered 1/8 Size including margins: 40 x 50 cm Note: In Héliportage de marsouins à Arta, Djibouti, 1990, José Nicolas captures a scene of intervention of remarkable intensity. The movement of the soldiers, the tension of the bodies and the presence of the helicopters create a dynamic, almost cinematographic image. Black and white reinforces the power of the moment: sharp contrasts, raw materials and harsh light convey the urgency and rigor of the action, while lending the whole a timeless dimension. This silver print, signed, titled, dated and located on the back, stands out as a powerful testimony, both historical and visually striking; a work that combines documentary insight and aesthetic impact.
