EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back in time to the year 1881. The image captures a print of Rasmus Gaihede, an oil on canvas painting by Christian Krohg. Measuring 59x82 cm, this artwork is part of a private collection. The photo focuses on the interior setting where the print is displayed. We see it hanging on a wall above a bedside table adorned with various objects. A pipe rests atop the table, suggesting that its owner enjoys moments of relaxation and contemplation. However, what catches our attention are not these details but rather the presence of flies buzzing around. They seem to be attracted to fly paper hanging nearby, indicating that pests were just as much a nuisance back then as they are today. The composition cleverly shows us only the back view of someone sleeping peacefully in bed while insects roam freely around them. This perspective adds an intriguing element to the image - one can't help but wonder if these tiny creatures disturb or even awaken their slumbering subject. Overall, this photograph offers us a glimpse into domestic life from over a century ago - reminding us that despite technological advancements and changing times, some things remain constant: pests persistently find their way into our homes while we seek solace in art and sleep.
