EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ardiments of modern technology" by Achille Beltrame showcases a truly remarkable feat of engineering. The image takes us back to Jupille, Belgium in 1932, where an ambitious project was underway to expand a church. In order to save time and money, an ingenious engineer decided to cut the church in half and move the two parts using pulleys. The void created by this daring maneuver was then filled with new masonry. The photograph captures the bustling scene surrounding this unusual endeavor. Builders, labourers, men, women, and even children can be seen gathered around the scaffoldings and pulley mechanisms. Their expressions reveal a mix of curiosity and awe as they witness this bizarre spectacle unfold before their eyes. Belgium's architectural heritage is on full display here as well - from the stone church itself to the crowd that has gathered around it. This unique blend of old-world charm and modern technological innovation creates a striking juxtaposition that leaves viewers captivated. "Ardiments of modern technology" not only serves as a testament to human ingenuity but also highlights how advancements in engineering have shaped our world throughout history. It reminds us that progress often comes hand-in-hand with unconventional methods and out-of-the-box thinking. This intriguing artwork by Achille Beltrame invites us into a moment frozen in time – one that continues to inspire wonderment at what humans are capable of achieving when faced with challenges or limitations.
