Here's a collection of black and white photographs in an album, "Militaire activiteiten rond Jogyakarta," by an anonymous artist. Looking at these, I feel like I’m peering into someone’s memories, right? The way the photos are arranged, each a little window into a moment. I get the sense of a story unfolding, of people moving through spaces, planes, building. It's like someone was trying to capture something, not just what things looked like, but how it felt to be there. What's so cool is that these images feel almost like sketches – quick, raw, capturing the essence of a place or a feeling. It makes you think about what the artist was trying to communicate, what they wanted us to see and feel. For me, art is about embracing the unknown, allowing for different interpretations, so hopefully that’s what I've given you.
