Sevan - Wardenis 2002

This is a photograph, Sevan-Wardenis, by Ursula Schulz-Dornburg. Look at the bare bus stop with the two figures underneath, caught in this in-between place. It's almost as if the photographer has been waiting for the right moment to capture the essence of a specific time and place. I can imagine Schulz-Dornburg setting up the shot, considering the composition, the interplay of light and shadow, and the starkness of the landscape. There’s a kind of emptiness that draws you in. I keep thinking about the history embedded in the photographic process. You know, it allows artists to connect across time. Ursula's work reminds me of other landscape photographers, like the New Topographics photographers, who explored similar themes of industrialization. And it's this connection, this conversation between artists, that keeps me going. It's like we're all trying to make sense of the world in our own way, embracing uncertainty and creating space for new interpretations.
