Untitled (from the series Still Water (The River Thames, for Example)) 1999

Roni Horn’s 1999 photograph, “Untitled (from the series Still Water (The River Thames, for Example))”, is a captivating example of her minimalist approach to photography, often depicting natural forms and landscapes in a pared-back aesthetic. This specific piece, part of her “Still Water” series, focuses on a view of the River Thames, its surface captured as a vast, abstract expanse of dark water, subtly punctuated by the fleeting reflections of sunlight. The image evokes a sense of quiet contemplation, highlighting the beauty and mystery that can be found in the most ordinary of natural phenomena.
