74V03 Possibly 1973 - 1993

John Divola made this photograph, *74V03,* using black and white film, which offers a kind of study of light. It’s a quiet scene, probably a corner somewhere, transformed by the artist's eye. Look at the spray marks, like ghostly palm fronds, and that diagonal line dividing the frame. I can imagine Divola thinking about edges, boundaries, and how light changes everything. How does a photographer take something mundane and turn it into a visual puzzle? It's a great way of thinking about how artists build on what has come before. There are echoes of earlier photographers in this work. These are all artists in conversation, each adding their own voice. Divola's photograph isn't just about what's there. It's about seeing, feeling, and thinking about the world in new ways. It’s about the beauty of change.
