Piramide van Sakkara in Egypte before 1914

This photo of the Pyramid of Sakkara in Egypt was made by LL, but we don't know exactly when. It's like a sketch, a study in tone, a black and white painting using light itself. I’m drawn to the surface of the pyramid here, the way the light catches on each layer. There’s this sense of a conversation between near and far, the details of the stone give way to a blurry peak. It's not so much about the thing itself, but about how light interacts with it, how it defines the shape, creates texture. Look at how the sky is almost the same shade as the sand, blurring the lines between earth and sky. This feels related to the work of Gerhard Richter, whose blurred photographs challenge our perceptions of reality. It reminds me that art isn't about perfect representation, but about opening up possibilities and questions.
