Interieur van de Sint-Bavokerk te Aardenburg 1909

This photograph, an interior view of the Sint-Bavokerk in Aardenburg, was made at an unknown date by an anonymous photographer for Monumentenzorg. It's like stepping into a ghostly dream, isn't it? The photographer, whoever they were, must have been captivated by the way light filtered through those arches, turning stone into something almost ethereal. I can imagine them, carefully adjusting their lens, trying to capture the silence and grandeur of the space. Look at the columns, how they seem to fade into the light. It reminds me of Agnes Martin's work, that quiet, meditative quality. There’s a dialogue happening here, across time and mediums, a shared understanding of light, space, and the sublime. I often find myself returning to the work of artists from different periods, finding unexpected connections and echoes. It's a reminder that we're all part of this ongoing conversation, building upon the ideas of those who came before us, and inspiring those who will come after.
