About this work
Inside “A Glimpse Through the Past”
A masterful play on perspective, this image captures the dynamic energy of a bustling city through the reflection of a motorcycle's side mirror. The foreground is a blur of motion—yellow taxis streak past, modern buildings loom, and urban life continues at its relentless pace. Yet within the mirror, a sharp, focused view of a perfectly framed street emerges, leading the eye towards a towering skyscraper at the vanishing point. This striking contrast between movement and stillness creates a sense of duality—past and present, chaos and clarity, observation and immersion. The photograph invites the viewer to question perspective, offering a nostalgic yet forward-looking glimpse into the soul of the city.
At 45 × 30 cm the work reads as a single sweep — the mid-scale proportions do as much as the subject. The catalogue description reads: A masterful play on perspective, this image captures the dynamic energy of a bustling city through the reflection of a motorcycle's side mirror. The premise is playful but the execution is straight, and that tension between the two is what makes the image land. The €50 asking price falls within the €50–€60 band indicated by comparable pieces here.
By Mélodique — Playful, dreamlike scenes suspended in the sky.
