About the artwork

This haunting black and white photograph transports us to the peaceful landscape of Bünde and shows the apparent simplicity of life in this town. The shot is characterised by strong contrasts and a deep emotional resonance.

In the foreground of the picture we see the railway tracks running through the picture from left to right. They symbolise the ceaseless movement of life and the connection between places and people. The leaves of a bush on the left side of the painting frame the scene and give it a natural intimacy.

Behind the railway tracks stretches a field that has just been ploughed. The swirling dust is clearly visible and gives the impression of movement and activity. The field represents the agricultural tradition of Bünde and the connection to nature that is so important in this region.

In the background rises the striking high-rise building of Randringhausen, embedded in a blanket of clouds. This play of contrasts between the rural idyll and the urban presence of the high-rise lends the photograph a remarkable visual tension.

The photograph exudes an atmosphere of calm and serenity while capturing the dynamism of life and the contrast between city and country. This image invites the viewer to discover the beauty in the apparent simplicity of Bünde's landscape and to feel the depth of emotion that this photograph conveys. It tells of the connection between tradition and modernity, between tranquillity and movement, which is the essence of this town.
