Constructie van een gebouwencomplex 1914 - 1919

This photograph is of a building complex, and we don't know who took it, so we might imagine how it came into being, shifting and emerging through trial, error, and intuition. I sympathize with the photographer—I can imagine what it might have been like to create this image. What were they thinking when they made it? We see texture, surface, and the physicality of the architecture. The scene almost has a sense of emerging as though the buildings are newly made. The composition and the way the light falls across the buildings and foliage is quite striking. There is a kind of exchange of ideas across time, where one artist is perhaps inspiring another’s creativity. As a result, this image becomes a form of embodied expression which embraces ambiguity and uncertainty, allowing for multiple interpretations.
