Chana Orloff and The Case of the Mysterious Photo with Sophia Berry

Hosted By: Orange County Community Scholar Program (CSP)

During research on Chana Orloff’s sculpture from 1919, a photograph was discovered in which she is recorded together with another woman and a young man (and probably another person who took the picture) in the living room of her home. They look smiling, relaxed and smartly dressed for going out together. The photo ignited Sophia Berry’s curiosity, which led her on a detective journey and research for its traces. Many questions arose: Who are the other people in the picture? Where and when was it filmed? Under what circumstances? What are the works hanging on the walls? And who is the photographer whose figure is absent from the picture but nevertheless present in the photograph? Join us to get some answers to “Chana Orloff and the Case of the Mysterious Photo”.
