EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic town of Stralsund, Germany, with its magnificent old city gate known as the KAOEtertor. Standing tall and proud, this gate is one of the few remaining remnants of the city's ancient fortifications. Its origins can be traced back to 1281, but it was rebuilt in 1446 to assume its present form. The picturesque old city of Stralsund itself holds immense cultural significance and was rightfully recognized by UNESCO as a world heritage site in 2002. Steeped in history and adorned with stunning architecture, it offers a glimpse into Germany's rich past. In this photograph, we see the gate majestically framed against a clear blue sky – a testament to its enduring beauty. The vibrant graffiti adorning its walls adds an intriguing juxtaposition between modern street art and centuries-old architecture. A bustling street stretches out before us, lined with charming buildings that reflect German culture at every turn. A road sign points towards various travel destinations while cars pass by on their daily journeys through time. Frans Sellies skillfully captures not only the physical elements but also the essence of Stralsund's historical charm through his lens. This print serves as a window into another era – inviting viewers to immerse themselves in this enchanting town where past meets present seamlessly.
