Vier foto's van Greet, Lien en J. Chr. Lapp, een auto en een huis, Wanasari 1909

Loentje Onnen made this photo album page with four small photographs, somewhere in Wanasari. I love the idea of the artist arranging these photos on the page, thinking about how they relate to each other. I imagine Loentje carefully selecting these images, maybe considering the light, the composition, or the memories they evoked. There’s a quiet intimacy here. The photos capture a specific time and place. The details—Greet, Lien, J. Chr. Lapp, a car, a house—offer a glimpse into their world. I wonder what it was like for Loentje to live in that moment. What did a car mean in that environment? What were the days like and who were the people in their life? This album becomes a form of embodied expression, and I wonder how it all felt to this artist. I’m inspired by this idea of the artist as collector, curator, and storyteller.
