Betonbrug over de Enimrivier in aanbouw 1921 - 1922

This anonymous photograph captures the making of ‘Betonbrug over de Enimrivier in aanbouw,’ or a concrete bridge over the Enim river. Imagine being there, documenting this in-between space. The bridge is not quite there yet. It's like an unfinished painting where you can see the underpainting and the scaffolding holding it up. This is a peek into the evolution of a structure, a process caught in time. I wonder, what was the photographer thinking as they clicked the shutter? Were they pondering the connection this bridge would bring, or maybe just the nuts and bolts of getting it built? The grey tones emphasize the serious weight and solid feel of the materials involved – concrete, wood, and metal. It reminds me that every creation, whether a bridge or a painting, is a journey. Each photo and painting adds to the ongoing dialogue about how we see and shape our world.
