From the Sequence "Ezra Pound" 1981 - 1982

This black and white photograph titled "From the Sequence 'Ezra Pound,'" was made by Dieter Appelt, and it feels like a dark, poetic exploration of space. The chair, centered and slightly ghostly, really grabs you. The texture is incredible, almost like you could reach out and feel the grittiness of the walls. See how the light seems to pool around the edges of the room, creating these soft shadows? It’s like the room itself is breathing. That chair, though—it's not just a chair; it's a presence. The way it’s lit from behind, almost glowing, gives it this weight, like a stand-in for the absent figure of Pound himself. It makes me think of some of Francesca Woodman's explorations of space and the body. Both artists capture this sense of absence and haunting. Art, it’s just one big, beautiful conversation, right?
