Ampas pers met frame 1926

This photograph, "Ampas pers met frame," was taken anonymously, and while we don't know the artist, we can still imagine them at work. This industrial scene is made up of many different parts, and yet, each of them seems to balance the others in a quiet moment of equilibrium. The dark frame of the photo hugs the industrial structure it holds so dearly. Like a parent. I wonder, did the photographer frame and capture the structure in one take, or did it take many attempts? It's a bit like painting, really. You start with one gesture, and then another, and another, and each one determines the next. You keep going until it feels right, even if you don't know exactly why. Making art, whether it’s photography or painting, is like having a conversation with yourself, or maybe with the whole world, through the language of images and materials. It's about putting something out there and seeing what comes back, how it resonates, and what new ideas it sparks.
