Untitled 1980

This untitled image is by Ursula Schulz-Dornburg. It's a black and white photograph; a study in stark geometry and quiet reflection. I imagine Schulz-Dornburg out there, camera in hand, patiently waiting for the right moment. The scene is still, almost desolate. Two figures in black robes walk along a raised bank, their reflections mirrored in the water below. I am drawn to the subtle textures and the contrast between the smoothness of the water and the roughness of the land. The composition is bisected with a horizontal line. Ursula's work often explores liminal spaces—places on the edge, boundaries between one thing and another. Here, the artist invites us to contemplate the play of light and shadow, presence and absence. There's a stillness, yet also a sense of movement. The women’s black robes stand out as blocks. It's like she’s asking: what do we see when we look, and what do we overlook? Ultimately, it’s a photograph that invites questions more than answers.
