Gezicht op Sprongstraat 6 te Zutphen 1905

This photograph captures Sprongstraat 6 in Zutphen with a muted palette, offering a glimpse into another time through the eyes of an anonymous photographer working for Monumentenzorg. It's all about process when you're trying to capture the world, right? The photograph has this beautiful sepia tone that casts the scene in a nostalgic light. The details of the architecture, the windows, the brickwork – they're all rendered with incredible clarity. And then you notice the figures in the foreground, these ghostly apparitions that are both present and absent, fixed and fleeting. The softness is something that gives me shivers, there’s just so much emotion in the image. This piece makes me think of Atget, maybe it’s the interest in the built environment. Photography and art, always in conversation.
