Gezicht op de Hervormde Kerk te Overasselt 1890 - 1920

This photograph, "Gezicht op de Hervormde Kerk te Overasselt," captures a church with a stark, documentary feel. The grey-scale palette is almost scientific in its neutrality. It reminds me that the act of making, even in photography, is a process of revealing. The texture of the church's stone facade is palpable. You can almost feel the rough, weathered surface beneath your fingertips. Look closely at the way the light catches the edges of the stones, creating subtle shadows that define the form. The surface is where time leaves its mark, where history becomes visible. The precision and care in this photograph also recall the work of Bernd and Hilla Becher. Like them, this artist is interested in the mundane beauty of functional structures. This piece is not just about bricks and mortar, it’s about seeing the world in a particular way, open to the quiet stories embedded in the everyday.
