Untitled (nine children posed with goat on outdoor steps) 1961

Editor: Martin Schweig's silver gelatin print shows nine kids with a goat on some outdoor steps. The inverted tones give it a ghostly, dreamlike quality. What's your take on this unusual composition? Curator: It feels like a memory, doesn’t it? Distant and slightly off. Perhaps it's a reflection on childhood itself – a bit chaotic, a little unsettling, but ultimately, full of life. The goat, that’s the wild card, isn’t it? Editor: Yes, the goat is definitely unexpected! What do you think it symbolizes? Curator: Maybe freedom? A touch of untamed nature amidst the posed formality. It makes you wonder about the story behind the image, doesn't it? I'm left pondering the narratives held within.
