Dorpsgezicht in een dessa 1900 - 1935

Neville Keasberry made this photograph in Java, but when exactly I'm not sure; the process is what grabs me here. It's a stereoscopic image, so it's like seeing double, but with depth. I’m thinking about Keasberry setting up his camera, framing the scene, maybe waiting for the light to be just right. What was it like for him, lugging around all that equipment in that landscape? Did he see himself as an explorer? It's a different way of seeing. Like two eyes working together, trying to make sense of the world, or maybe it's an early form of glitch art that reveals the gaps in our perception. I think of Muybridge and his motion studies and how those investigations have impacted painters and the way we see. It's all one big conversation, and we're still turning it over.
