Thomas Kuijpers’ visit to Claude Monet’s water lily pond left him with a stronger memory of Monet’s painting than of the actual place, likely due to the artwork’s ubiquitous presence in everyday life. This realization deepened when he discovered that Monet’s iconic bridge painting was not a single work but part of a series of 48 variations. Inspired by this repetition, Kuijpers photographed Monet’s garden over two years, using a 1997 Sony Mavica camera, which produced low-resolution images stored on floppy disks—remnants of an era when digital data became instantly shareable. His project highlights how perception has shifted; while Monet moved away from realism in response to photography, today’s algorithm-driven visual culture prioritizes constant novelty over deep engagement. By revisiting the same scenes repeatedly, Kuijpers uncovered subtle transformations—seasonal shifts, changing light, evolving flora—echoing Monet’s own exploration of variation. This work prompts reflection on how images are consumed, remembered, and reshaped in the digital age.
