Gezicht op de sectie landbouw in het Belgische deel van de Wereldtentoonstelling van 1905 in Luik 1905

This photograph captures a moment at the Belgian section of the World's Fair in Liège, 1905. What strikes me first is the contrast of light and shadow, those stark differences create an almost dreamlike quality. It’s all about process isn’t it, the way the light etches the edges of the buildings, defining the form and creating depth. Look at the way the photographer has captured the texture of the buildings, you can almost feel the grain of the stone and the smooth surface of the glass. See how the light catches the edges of the windows, creating a rhythm that draws your eye across the scene. It’s like a dance, a back and forth between light and dark. Think about Eugène Atget, who captured the streets of Paris in a similar way. Both artists found beauty in the everyday, elevating the ordinary to something extraordinary. This image reminds us that art isn't about fixed meanings but multiple interpretations and how we choose to see the world.
