Else Wachenheimer-Moos als jonge vrouw met een onbekende vrouw staande op een balkon Possibly 1914

This is a photograph of Else Wachenheimer-Moos as a young woman with an unknown woman standing on a balcony, made anonymously at an unknown date. The grayscale image has this cool detachment, but look closer and the texture starts to speak. The soft focus gives the photograph a hazy quality, softening the edges and blending the details, like a memory. The two figures are standing close together, but not quite touching, against a backdrop of indistinct buildings and hills. There's an intriguing tension between their connection and their separation. It’s so delicate, this balance, captured in the subtle variations of light and shadow. That slight blur in the background—it reminds me of Gerhard Richter's blurred photographs, where the act of looking becomes a meditation on memory and the passage of time. Art isn't about answers; it's about questions. It's about seeing the world anew, with all its ambiguities and possibilities.
