Orgel in de Grote of Maria Magdalenakerk te Goes 1890 - 1920

This sepia photograph shows the Orgel in de Grote of Maria Magdalenakerk te Goes, made by an anonymous photographer. The image is soft and hazy, like a memory fading around the edges. It reminds me that artmaking is a process, a way of seeing and feeling. The photograph is all about texture. The rough paper, the faded ink, and the soft focus all contribute to a sense of age and history. Look at the way the light catches the pipes of the organ; it feels like you could reach out and touch them. It’s this sensitivity to the material that really speaks to me. It reminds me of Atget's photographs of Paris, capturing a sense of time and place. But ultimately, art is an ongoing conversation, an exchange of ideas across time. This image reminds me that ambiguity and multiple interpretations are part of what makes art so compelling.
