Ariel Dam, Washington [staat], Verenigde Staten: laagspanningsinstallatie 1936

"Laagspanningsinstallatie op de Ariel-Dam" (Low-Voltage Installation at Ariel Dam) is a photograph taken in 1936 by Dutch photographer Wouter Cool (1877-1947). The image showcases a technical detail of the Ariel Dam in Washington State, USA, focusing on a row of pipes running along a concrete wall. Cool's interest in industrial architecture and infrastructure is evident in this photograph, which captures the stark beauty of modern engineering. The image's composition, featuring a clear perspective and a play of light and shadow, emphasizes the structure's functional design. This photograph, along with other works by Cool, serves as a valuable record of early 20th-century infrastructure development.
