Loentje Furnée met vrienden in de Rivièra Possibly 1928 - 1930

This photo, Loentje Furnée met vrienden in de Rivièra, was made by Carolina Onnen. It’s a collection of photographs, pasted onto a sheet. Each separate shot feels like a memory, a moment frozen in time. The composition of the sheet as a whole feels intimate, like flipping through someone’s personal scrapbook. It’s a reminder that artmaking isn’t just about the grand gesture, or the finished product, it’s about the process of collecting, arranging, and making meaning. Think about the way each photograph captures a different scene, and how they all relate to each other. Maybe it’s the way the light hits the water in one photo, and the way it casts shadows on the sand in another. Each photograph is its own complete world. In a way, this piece reminds me of the way Kurt Schwitters used to work, collecting scraps of paper and trash to create something new. Art is always an ongoing conversation, and it’s up to us to listen.
