This project focuses on the method of reminiscence. It is quite obvious how childhood experiences and surrounding people affect our personality, yet matching these imprinted images with present and reality is, without doubt, problematic. Family photo albums are fading references able to either amplify or cancel out one’s own memory. While forged from the very moment of capture, they still are the only tactile guides of personal retrospection.
 
The pictures demonstrate photography in reverse. An old film camera with an already developed film inserted is lit by a flash from behind, utilising the reversible properties of both the lens and the film, hence creating a projector acting in a very similar fashion to the recording and recalling of memories. The people appearing in the photographs are significant to the artist. To place them in context, the above mentioned process is performed in their personal spaces. The simultaneous presence of positive and negative images refers to the fact that remembrance is imperfect by nature and can only be interpreted from one’s present viewpoint.
