at 34mm, 1/30 f/4.2, ISO 1600, hand held. New York, United States.

Ellis Island è un isolotto alla foce del fiume Hudson nella baia di New York. E' stato il principale punto d'ingresso per gli immigranti che sbarcavano negli Stati Uniti ed attualmente ospita, oltre la notissima "Statua della Libertà", l' "Ellis Island Immigration Museum". Il porto di Ellis Island ha accolto più di dodici milioni di aspiranti cittadini statunitensi che all'arrivo dovevano esibire i documenti di viaggio con le informazioni della nave che li aveva portati a New York. I Medici del Servizio Immigrazione controllavano rapidamente ciascun immigrante, contrassegnando sulla schiena con un gesso, quelli che dovevano essere sottoposti ad un ulteriore esame per accertarne le condizioni di salute. Chi superava questo primo esame, veniva poi accompagnato nella "Sala dei Registri", dove erano attesi da ispettori che registravano nome, luogo di nascita, stato civile, luogo di destinazione, disponibilità di denaro, professione e precedenti penali. Ricevevano alla fine il permesso di sbarcare e venivano accompagnati al molo del traghetto per Manhattan. Per i ritenuti non idonei, c'era l'immediato reimbarco sulla stessa nave che li aveva portati negli Stati Uniti, la quale, in base alla legislazione americana, aveva l'obbligo di riportarli al porto di provenienza. Il 12 novembre 1954 il "Servizio Immigrazione" di Ellis Island chiuse definitivamente, spostando i propri uffici a Manhattan. Dopo una parziale ristrutturazione negli anni ottanta, dal 1990 ospita il Museo dell'Immigrazione. In una delle sale del Museo è "ospitata" questa particolare struttura che, a seconda delle angolazioni da cui viene osservata, "cambia" il suo aspetto mostrando ora i "volti" di centinaia e centinaia di immigranti, ora la "classica" rappresentazione della bandiera statunitense a "stelle e strisce". Per questa mia immagine sono riuscito a trovare un'angolazione che pur mostrando, quasi nella sua interezza, la bandiera americana consentisse anche di intravedere la presenza di qualche... volto!
