Two silhouettes stand before the moving code.
Lines and circles shifting like tides,
light speaking in patterns too old for text, too young for forgetting.
David van Eyssen calls it a reflection on Cryptomnesia —
the theft of memory, the misplacing of origin.
In the glow, the visitor leans forward.
The artist waits.
I framed it through the Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4,
letting the lens drink in the quiet exchange —
how light can be both language and lock,
and how two shadows can be the only ones who know the key.
And then the screen shifted — just slightly —
as if the code had recognized them.
About the lens: Captured with the Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 — a lens that renders light with both precision and generosity, turning shadows into characters and glow into quiet intent.
Lyrical article, and elegant photgraph.
Thank you, David — deeply appreciated.
