Editor: So, this photograph by Martin Schweig, simply titled "Untitled," shows men moving boxes with a forklift. I find the contrast of the suited man observing the workers to be very interesting. What's your take on this piece? Curator: It’s a fascinating capture, isn't it? The starkness of the image really highlights the division of labor. I wonder, who gets to watch, and who must work? The boxes themselves become almost sculptural, don't you think? They speak to trade, labor, and perhaps even the unknown contents of our lives. Editor: Definitely! I didn't think about the boxes themselves as a commentary on labor, that adds another layer to the photograph for me. Thanks! Curator: My pleasure. Art invites us to see the world, and ourselves, a bit differently.
