Untitled (three children playing on chairs) c. 1950

Editor: This is an intriguing silver gelatin print, "Untitled (three children playing on chairs)" by Lucian and Mary Brown. The children make a fort-like structure. The negative image gives an eerie feeling to what seems like an innocent childhood moment. What do you make of it? Curator: This feels like a memory, doesn't it? Or perhaps a half-remembered dream. The inversion of the tones, the familiar yet strange scene... it evokes a sense of nostalgia tinged with melancholy. Is this how we keep the past? Editor: It’s fascinating how a simple photographic trick can change everything. Curator: Absolutely. Art can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, revealing hidden layers of meaning within the everyday. Now, how do you think these artists saw the world?
