Untitled (studio portrait of woman with baby in dress) 1942

Editor: This is an untitled studio portrait by Martin Schweig, depicting a woman with a baby. It has an eerie feel with the film inverted like this. What do you make of it? Curator: Well, it’s like gazing into a photographic negative, isn’t it? It reminds me of old family photos, the kind you find tucked away in dusty boxes. There's something profoundly intimate, almost unnervingly so, about seeing this reversal. It prompts questions about memory and how we choose to remember moments. Do you feel that too? Editor: I do. It’s like a dream, familiar but off. Thanks for your insight.
