Untitled (view of house) c. 1950

Curator: This is an Untitled photograph, or "view of house," by Harry Annas, currently held at the Harvard Art Museums. The image itself is about 4 by 5 inches. Editor: It looks like a dream, or maybe a memory fading. The stark contrast gives it a sort of otherworldly feel, like a place you can’t quite reach anymore. Curator: The high contrast, as you note, invites us to consider the social and political implications of visibility and invisibility, particularly within the context of domestic spaces. Who is seen, whose stories are told, and whose are erased? Editor: You know, it makes me think about how we all project our inner lives onto the places we inhabit. Maybe this house is just a shell, filled with untold stories. Curator: Precisely. By examining these structures, we can unpack the complex layers of identity and experience embedded within the everyday. Editor: I guess what I’m left with is this…a quiet whisper of untold stories, waiting to be heard.
