Untitled 1980

This black and white photograph, "Untitled," by Ursula Schulz-Dornburg, taken in 1980, captures a stark yet captivating landscape. The image depicts a cluster of mud-brick buildings, likely ruins, situated on a sandy bank overlooking a vast expanse of water. The composition is simple yet evocative, with the structures occupying a small space in the lower middle ground, emphasizing their isolation and vulnerability against the expansive horizon. The photographer’s deliberate choice of black and white enhances the feeling of timelessness, highlighting the enduring presence of the past in the present.
