Self-Portrait in a Shop Window

Photographed by on

Multiple layered reflections in a shop window in Halle's old town: photographer Arnold Wender with camera appears as a reflection alongside the lettering "APOTHEK…", "Juwelier", and "Schmiede". Street signs and Gründerzeit facades are reflected in reverse in the glass, overlaying the displays behind the pane and merging into a multi-layered image — a self-portrait between reality and reflection, quintessential street photography.
