This is a page from a photo album showing Eugen Wachenheimer and his wife Else on a ski vacation in Lenzerheide, Switzerland, during January and February 1933. The photographs, arranged on the album page, present a series of monochromatic winter scenes that invite a formal investigation into the structure of memory and representation. The composition uses the stark contrast of black and white to define shapes, textures, and spatial relationships. The repetitive format of each photograph emphasizes a structural pattern, transforming personal memory into a study of visual rhythm. The dark, dense trees juxtapose with the open, bright expanses of snow, creating a dynamic interplay between line and form. Considering these images through a structuralist lens, we might explore how they function as signs within a larger cultural code of leisure and identity. The act of documenting this ski vacation transforms lived experience into a constructed narrative, offering a fascinating exploration into the ways we categorize and understand our past.
