Gezicht op een brug te San Sebastián 1862 - 1876

Jean Andrieu created this stereoscopic photograph of a bridge in San Sebastián. The subdued sepia tones of the print give the scene a serene, almost dreamlike quality, enhanced by the doubled perspective. The composition emphasizes the bridge as a dominant horizontal form, dissecting the photograph. The structural elements create a rhythm of light and shadow, playing across the water's surface below. The photograph captures a moment of stillness, yet the inherent duality of stereoscopy hints at underlying shifts in perspective and perception. Looking closely, you can see how the bridge acts as a kind of visual signifier, inviting us to consider themes of connection and transition. The photograph offers a meditation on how we perceive space and depth through constructed realities. It invites reflection on how photography, like our own vision, shapes and interprets the world around us.
