Domkapel in Goslar 1868 - 1890

This stereoscopic card shows the Domkapelle in Goslar, captured by Hermann Selle. The subdued tones and textured surfaces of the photographic print evoke a sense of historical gravitas. The composition is carefully structured around symmetry. The chapel is presented in a way that emphasizes balance, mirroring the architectural harmony of the building itself. The foreground is a neutral plane, which allows the chapel to dominate the visual space. The photograph employs a formal arrangement, where elements are meticulously placed to create a cohesive whole. The architectural structure of the chapel is a semiotic system in itself. It challenges fixed notions of space and representation. The photograph invites the viewer to consider the interplay between structure, representation, and perception, and how these elements combine to create meaning within a broader cultural context.
