Versieringen van de tholos van Epidaurus before 1910

These photographs of the Tholos at Epidaurus were made by Frédéric Boissonnas at an unknown date. Look at how the light falls on the carvings at the top of the page. It's not just about documentation, is it? It's about the feel of the stone, how it sits in the landscape. These images are so textural. I can almost feel the roughness of the ruins under my fingertips. Notice how the tones shift and change across the surface, creating a dance of light and shadow. It’s like a memory fading, or a story being whispered across time. It makes me think about memory, about how we construct our own versions of the past. Like my own paintings, the history is never truly fixed; it's always in flux, shifting with our perspectives. You see the way the image on the right shows the circular form of the ruins, reminiscent of Robert Smithson's spiral jetty? Art is an ongoing conversation, a constant remix of ideas across time.
