If I see a major exhibit of one photographer's work, I am liable to start looking for photographs that might look like the ones you saw in the exhibit. This does not look like any of her work at all, but... She photographed more than one set of twins and she worked only in black & white. So I thought this photograph of twin guards would be an interesting thing to photograph. The guards are not twins, of course, there is one guard and the back wall of the gallery is a mirrored wall. She also used some square format cameras so I cropped this into a square to complete the comparison.

You got me! I didn’t notice the line where the mirror connects with the floor so I believed I was looking at twins. Clever of you to call it Twin Guards. The black & white is fitting along with square template. Betsey
This is a very clever Arbus-adjacent photo!
Also: I can’t believe there was a Diane Arbus exhibit while I was there and I didn’t go see it!
