Untitled (young girl posed in bedroom rocking chair with feet up on chair arm) 1958

Editor: Here we have an intriguing untitled image by Martin Schweig, showing a girl in a bedroom rocking chair. It’s got this almost eerie, dreamlike quality to it, don't you think? What sort of story do you think it’s trying to tell? Curator: For me, it's about the stillness of childhood, that moment of quiet contemplation. The negative evokes a sort of ghostly presence, like a memory fading in and out. I wonder, what was Barbara thinking as she sat there? It feels deeply personal. Editor: I hadn't thought about it like that. It seemed more detached, but I get what you mean now. Curator: And perhaps that detachment is part of the story, too. We're seeing her, but not quite connecting. Isn't it funny how one little image can hold so much? Editor: Absolutely, a single still frame holding so many potential narratives.
