Interieur van een woning in het Hanseatisk Museum, Bergen, Noorwegen 1898 - 1935

This is "Interior of a house in the Hanseatic Museum, Bergen, Norway", a stereoscopic photograph by Atelier KK. It’s like looking into a memory – a little faded, a little sepia-toned, a little blurry. The graininess is kind of beautiful, right? It’s a stark black and white image, all hard edges and heavy forms. The wood-paneled walls have a raw, tactile quality, and the pots lined up along the floor look both functional and like part of an informal still life. The light is dim, like you’re peeking into a space that’s been left undisturbed for a long time. It’s a very material picture, isn’t it? You can imagine the sounds and smells of the place as if you were really there. It reminds me a bit of some of the interiors by Vilhelm Hammershøi, only here, instead of hushed melancholia, there’s a quiet, industrious stillness. It feels like a world captured in a moment, a conversation between the past and how we look at it now. We're always making a picture of things, always interpreting, always changing the story.
