Shot at the Mudam Museum, Luxembourg. Artwork by Lee Bul.
Mamiya RZ67 Pro II, 110mm lens, on Ilford FP4 Plus roll film.

Edit 2015-12-07: brightened it up a bit, added contrast and white border

The artwork is based on an interesting piece of literature from the 17th century:

./.

Darknesse and light divide the course of time, and oblivion shares with memory, a great part even of our living beings;
we slightly remember our felicities, and the smartest stroaks of affliction leave but short smart upon us. Sense endureth
no extremities, and sorrows destroy us or themselves.

To weep into stones are fables.

Afflictions induce callosities, miseries are slippery, or fall like snow upon us, which notwithstanding is no unhappy stupidity.
To be ignorant of evils to come, and forgetfull of evils past, is a mercifull provision in nature, whereby we digest the mixture
of our few and evil dayes, and our delivered senses not relapsing into cutting remembrances, our sorrows are not kept raw
by the edge of repetitions.

Sir Thomas Browne
Chapter V, Hydriotaphia, or Urne-Buriall
