Untitled (women sitting in bleachers) c. 1950

Editor: This is "Untitled (women sitting in bleachers)" by Lucian and Mary Brown, and the image feels almost ghostly. There's a strange energy to it. What do you see in this piece? Curator: Oh, I love that, "ghostly." For me, it whispers of shared experiences, these women together, maybe after a game or some event. The photograph's reversed tones lend it a dreamlike quality, a memory surfacing. What do you make of the fence blurring the scene? Editor: It's like a filter, a barrier between us and them. Curator: Exactly! Perhaps it's about distance, the elusiveness of time. I imagine it’s a captured breath, a moment held then released. Food for thought, eh? Editor: Definitely! It really makes you consider how much a photograph can say.
