Untitled c. 20th century

This untitled photograph by Félix, made with albumen print, captures a scene where light and shadow do a slow dance. Félix coaxes out details you might miss, inviting you to see the beauty in the mundane. The earthy tones create a dreamy, almost surreal feel. Look at the geometric patterns etched into the walls, each telling a silent story. It’s like Félix wants us to touch history, to feel the weight of time. Then there’s the way the light spills across the courtyard. It's a study in contrasts. The shadows lengthen and deepen, obscuring, while the light reveals every nuance. It reminds me of the subtle color shifts in a Gerhard Richter painting, where a limited palette can still evoke a full range of emotions. Art, after all, is about seeing, feeling, and finding our own story within it.
