EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white albumen print, captured by Eadweard J Muybridge in 1875 and published in 1877, transports us back to the ruins of the Church of Santo Domingo-Panama. The image showcases the desolate beauty of this abandoned 19th-century Christian church, standing as a testament to time's relentless passage. The photograph's composition draws our attention to the intricate details of the ruined structure. The crumbling walls and dilapidated altar evoke a sense of melancholy, while also highlighting the enduring power of faith amidst decay. Against this backdrop, faint figures can be seen in the background, perhaps contemplating their own connection to spirituality within these haunting surroundings. Muybridge's mastery is evident in his use of photography. The absence of color allows for a heightened focus on texture and form, emphasizing every crack and crevice that has weathered over years gone by. This monochromatic aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to the scene. As we gaze upon this image from yesteryear, we are reminded not only of Panama's rich heritage but also its complex relationship with religion. Through Muybridge's lens, we witness how nature reclaims what was once man-made; yet even in ruinous states like these, there remains an undeniable allure that continues to captivate viewers today. Displayed proudly at art galleries such as the National Gallery of Art Washington DC. , this photograph serves as both a historical document and a work of art
