Lat 45,4678
The "name" of each of them, which is the figure indicating the parallel of latitude at which the photo was taken, is meant to symbolize the elusiveness of representation: you could go to find the circumference of the earth along which the object has been immortalized, but not the precise point.
Not contextualize the image helps to amplify the effectiveness, giving the viewer an emotion quite similar to that caused by a sleight of hand: you can see the extraordinary effect, but not the trick. Leaving intact the part of the mystery that is useful to fascinate the human being.
The representation proposed by Giorgio Donders is therefore something that does not want to belong to the concrete, but rather unleash the free flight of the imagination.
