About
I Found Myself in the Neighbor's Past
I Found Myself in the Neighbor's Past recovers the fragments of a family album to recompose memories and enjoy the images of a dematerialized childhood . Among hundreds of fragments, I found myself as a child, I recognized myself between the children, recognized the nooks, the colours of a time that wasn't mine but of my own as well. I rearranged the map guided by its signs, coordinating memories through the traces of a common reality.
Through the exploration of these fragmented moments, memories and emotions emerge and establish connections. The images do not seek to abandon photography’s representational impulse, but rather to expand it, drawing on its plastic and expressive possibilities, playing with the construction of the image to amplify meaning in the paramnesic recovery of memory. In this way, memories are recovered like a dream, the images evoked with the vividness of a child’s gaze, a cornea shaped by the era of compact cameras.
