Photo is behind acrylic glass and attached to diabond. Suspension profile on the back allows for tight hanging on the wall.
Because the photo hung in the sunlight with us, the edge has a slightly different color. See last photo. Because we bought the photo new, this discoloration is visible to us. Another probably wouldn't see it. This size was sold out, the slightly larger photo is sold for 4990 euros! So asking price is a bargain for the enthusiast.
About this art project.
Near the Chinese oasis city of Dunhuang, on the edge of the Gobi dessert, emerged Bence Bakonyi's remarkable series “Cognition”. This stretch of land, which marks the transition from civilization to an inhospitable terrain of sand dunes, appears almost unreal. The scenery seems exotic to us, as if from another planet, yet these locations have a long, rich history. This settlement once served as an important junction on the silk road. Today, Dunhuang is a popular travel destination, and the Chinese tourists captured the attention of the artist. Bakonyi documents their bustling activity as a distant observer. Yet he does not seek to portray individuals. “Cognition” can instead be understood as a study of group dynamics. Even when they are photographed from afar, the artist shares the tourists' curious glance at the unknown landscape.
