Brug over een beek 1907 - 1935

This photo, made by Adolphe Burdet, captures a bridge over a stream, and, for me, it's like stumbling upon a half-remembered dream. I can almost feel the cool air and hear the water trickling. It's not just a record of a place but a meditation on light, form, and time itself. There’s a dance between intention and accident at play here. I imagine Burdet setting up his camera, carefully composing the scene, and yet, the final image has a dreamy, ethereal quality. The muted tones, the soft focus—they all contribute to a sense of nostalgia, as though we’re looking at a memory fading into the past. It makes me think about how all of us artists are constantly in dialogue with those who came before us, building on their experiments, responding to their challenges, and, in the process, discovering new ways of seeing and feeling the world.
