Romulus and Remus Possibly 1988 - 1994

"Romulus and Remus" is a black and white photograph by Jim Goldberg, taken sometime between 1988 and 1994. The image depicts a figure lying under a tree, partially obscured by foliage, against a dark background. The photograph is suggestive of a nocturnal scene, with the figure's form barely visible in the shadows. This work, part of Goldberg's larger series "Raised by Wolves," captures the anxieties of contemporary society by exploring themes of homelessness, youth, and vulnerability. The stark contrast and the focus on the figure's silhouette creates a sense of isolation and anonymity, hinting at the struggles faced by individuals living on the margins.
