Ruben PhilipsenWest facade of the Cathedral of Our Lady of Reims, Reims, France, 2021<br> <br> A prominent example of High Gothic architecture, Reims Cathedral was built to replace an earlier church destroyed by fire in 1210. Although a little damaged during the French Revolution, the present cathedral saw extensive restoration in the 19th century. However, it was severely damaged during World War I and the church was again restored in the 20th century.<br> Since the 1905 law on the separation of church and state, the cathedral has been owned by the French state, while the Catholic church has an agreement for its exclusive use. The French state pays for its restoration and upkeep.<br> <br> The West facade, the entry to the cathedral, particularly glorifies royalty. Most of it was completed at the same time, giving it an unusual unity of style. It is harmonic and balanced, with two towers of equal height and three portals entering into the nave. The porches of the portals, with archivolts containing many sculptures, protrude from the main wall. The two bell towers were originally planned to have spires making them three times taller than the nave, but these were never built. Since 1027 all but seven of France's future kings were crowned at Reims Cathedral.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow

Ruben PhilipsenMy dear mother (82), Museum Langen Fondation, Neuss, Germany, 2023.<br> <br> None of us know how much time we have but, interestingly, time is relative, depending on its observer rather than an immutably fixed constant everywhere in the universe. Our perception of time is especially influenced by our own perspective: Are we living in the moment or looking backward on time? It’s also influenced by our memory of past experiences. As we get older the rate at which we process experiences slows down and thus time seems to “speed up”. The many and often new things young children have to do in a day contribute to their notion that time is more plentiful. Therefore, when looking back, time may feel slower. This can apply to adults, too. When we look back on a time period that was filled with lots of new and exciting things we see a large expense of events and memories. They make it seem like time stretches out. Looking back on fewer moments that have past, the less rich your own representation is, the more it’s going to seem like time went by quickly. Thus, how we process what we experience and see influences how we view time. Not introducing new patterns into your life, can make you feel like time is going by much quicker overall.<br> <br> The whole concept of “time being of value” only has meaning for living, breathing, thinking and feeling beings. Afterall, a universe with nothing living in it would have nothing of value in it because there would be nothing to appreciate that value itself. Hence, life is the sufficient and necessary condition for anything of value. I think the trick is to make life an adventure - be it in your imagination, in real life or both - not tedious and unimaginative.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mymother?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mymother</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/blackandwhite?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blackandwhite</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/tv_simplicity?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tv_simplicity</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/archiporn?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#archiporn</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/tadaoando?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tadaoando</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/langenfoundation?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#langenfoundation</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/inselhombroich?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#inselhombroich</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/blackandwhitephotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blackandwhitephotography</a> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/contemporaryphotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#contemporaryphotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/contemporaryart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#contemporaryart</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bnwphotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bnwphotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architectlovers?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architectlovers</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/minimalzine?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#minimalzine</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/9minimal?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#9minimal</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gottolove_bnw?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gottolove_bnw</a>
