Centre Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire, Geneva, Switzerland Possibly 1989 - 2006

This photograph, taken by Lewis Baltz between 1989 and 2006, documents the interior of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland. Baltz's work often focused on the intersection of technology and architecture, capturing the stark and industrial spaces of modern life. The image portrays rows of blue cabinets, likely containing computer servers or other scientific equipment, against a backdrop of white tiled walls and a gridded ceiling. Baltz's signature style, characterized by minimalist composition and cool, clinical tones, emphasizes the sterile environment and underscores the detached, almost impersonal nature of scientific progress.
