Untitled (man and two women at outdoor market) c. 1950

Editor: This is Jack Gould’s "Untitled (man and two women at outdoor market)". It’s a small, square photograph. I'm struck by the ordinary scene and how mysterious it feels in negative. What's your take on this piece? Curator: Well, aren't negatives fascinating? It's like glimpsing a parallel world. To me, this market scene, rendered in inverted tones, whispers of hidden narratives. It feels like a memory, slightly out of reach. The everyday becomes surreal, doesn't it? I wonder what caught Gould’s eye? Editor: That’s a great point. It does feel like a half-remembered dream, and the negative enhances that. Curator: Exactly! And that's where the magic lies. Thanks for pointing that out!
