LOST WEDDING PHOTOGRAPH

1970s EA/HU/0060

How does a marriage photograph end up in a flea market? Was there a divorce that led to a massive clean out? Did the couple die without heirs, so the neighbour sold everything for cheap to a marketplace dealer? Is this the work of a mockumentarist relying on archival material to concoct imagined narratives? Even though linked to one specific moment of history, a photograph allows for infinite interpretations.
