Familie Kessler tijdens een wandeling in het Noorse boslandschap 1909

This stereograph, made by Geldolph Adriaan Kessler, shows the Kessler family taking a stroll in a Norwegian forest. The image is all about texture, isn't it? Look at how the tones capture the lush foliage, almost blurring the figures into the landscape. There's a sense of depth here, yet everything feels compressed, like a memory trying to surface. It makes you want to reach out and feel the dampness of the ferns. I'm drawn to the way the light filters through the trees, creating these dappled patterns. You can almost smell the pine needles and feel the cool air on your skin. It reminds me of those Impressionist landscapes, where the focus is on capturing a fleeting moment in time. Think of Gerhard Richter’s blurred paintings, but in sepia tones. It's like he's asking us to consider how we construct our perceptions of the world. There's a quiet beauty in its ambiguity.
