Untitled (wedding party) c. 1920s

Editor: Here we have an image by Martin Schweig, called Untitled (wedding party). The black and white tones really give it a sense of formality, but those flower girls are just adorable! What catches your eye in this photograph? Curator: The composition is so meticulously arranged, isn't it? Those flower girls, almost like a chorus line, framing the more stoic adults. It feels like Schweig is playing with the tension between innocence and expectation, wouldn't you agree? There's a sort of gravity to the image, offset by the ephemeral charm of the children. Editor: I hadn't really thought about it like that, but it does have a slightly bittersweet feel to it. Curator: Exactly! It's a frozen moment, a staged memory. We see what Schweig wants us to see. Makes you wonder about the moments *unseen*, doesn't it? Editor: It certainly does. This was very insightful!
