These three photographs of the Villa Tritone garden in Sorrento, taken by Norbert van den Berg between 1938 and 1955, feel like a quiet, unfolding narrative. I imagine van den Berg wandering through the garden, drawn to the play of light and shadow. He’s probably thinking about framing, about capturing the essence of this place. What to include? What to exclude? There’s a real sense of intimacy here, don't you think? Almost like he is inviting us to step into his memories. He would have been looking for the perfect angle, the right moment to capture the garden’s beauty. Composition is key. He's composing a frame, and framing a composition. It's like a conversation across time—his vision speaking to ours. We each bring our own stories and experiences to the exchange. What story does it tell you?
