This is a "Fotoalbum met acht foto's uit het privéleven van Karl With" by Karl With. We don't have a specific date for this artwork but the artist lived between 1891 and 1980. The album cover is dominated by a rectangle of worn, blue leather, its texture subtly catching the light to create a play of shadows and highlights. A circular metal button is attached on the right, adding a contrasting gleam and a sense of closure. The form of this small photo album functions as a signifier of memory. The album represents a contained space for private moments that are curated and preserved. The album’s materiality and the aging of its leather surface, evoke a sense of time passing and the fragility of personal history. The limited dimensions of the album suggest the selective and intimate nature of memory, highlighting what is chosen to be remembered versus what is forgotten.
