Toren van de Remigiuskerk te Duiven 1905

This monochromatic photograph depicts the tower of the Remigiuskerk in Duiven. Imagine the photographer standing there, carefully framing the church against the sky. I can see a relationship to Bernd and Hilla Becher who photographed industrial buildings - but this image seems more emotional. I wonder what this person was feeling when they took the picture? Was the photographer thinking about how light can change things? How it can make something solid seem soft and dreamlike? The tower looms, but it's also softened by the gray light. The trees in the foreground seem to be protecting the church. It is a reminder that artists are always in conversation with one another, learning and borrowing from the past. Ultimately, painting and photography are about showing feelings and making meaning. It's about embracing uncertainty and allowing for multiple interpretations.
