“Consider a future device for individual use, which is a sort of mechanized private file and library. It needs a name, and, to coin one at random, ‘memex’ will do. A memex is a device in which an individual stores all his books, records, and communications, and which is mechanized so that it may be consulted with exceeding speed and flexibility. It is an enlarged intimate supplement to his memory.” - Vannevar Bush, 1945 (from Forget Photography by Andrew Dewdney)

seen at Unseen Amsterdam photo fair Klaas Kloosterboer at Ellen de Bruijne gallery This work reflects Kloosterboer's ongoing quest to redefine how art can convey an experience. It is not concerned with the perfect depiction of the sun, but rather with transmitting the essence of sunlight to the viewer's mind. It underscores the importance of perception, action and reflection, and how these elements can lead to a deeper understanding of what it means to be human.
