Here's an anonymous artwork entitled Militairen en transport te Grobogan of an unknown date using photography. I can imagine the artist carefully arranging their photographs, thinking about how they relate to one another. They've placed three images on a page, each offering a glimpse into a different scene—soldiers, transport, and a waterside view. There are faint lines and blocks of colour, maybe the glue to stick the photos down or a way of connecting the separate photographs. I wonder what the artist wanted to convey by putting these particular images together. What story were they trying to tell? Perhaps it was a personal memento of the time.
