Twee mannen op kantoor 1922 - 1926

Here's a little photo by Robert Julius Boers called 'Two Men in an Office,' although when it was made, I don't know. Looking at this photograph, I can almost imagine what it must have been like for these people who lived then. It looks like they’re in a tropical place. They are stuck in an office, probably working for a colonial project. I wonder what they must have been thinking? They probably wanted to be anywhere but there. The photo gives the sense of the banality of the everyday. It doesn't present itself as anything special, just simply like an office. It must have been a way of capturing something about reality, which is interesting because reality isn't so simple.
