Untitled (group of women in costume posing in front of fake bar) c. 1950
Dimensions image: 10.16 x 12.7 cm (4 x 5 in.)
Editor: So this photograph by Harry Annas, simply titled "Untitled," depicts a group of women in costume posing in front of what seems to be a makeshift bar. It definitely gives off a vintage, theatrical vibe. What strikes you most about it? Curator: Ah, it's got that wonderful, slightly surreal quality of found photographs, doesn’t it? I see a playful tension between the constructed scene and the raw, almost documentary style of the image. Are they performers, or just friends having fun? It’s that ambiguity that really grabs me. What do you think? Editor: That's a great point! It blurs the lines between reality and performance. I'm left wondering about the story behind this snapshot and the energy of that moment. Curator: Exactly! It's a little window into a past time, begging for us to create our own narrative.
