How much of the past is romanticized; how much was ever true? What present day images will evoke similar responses in the future? Cultural nostalgia is the central theme being examined in this series. 
 
Depicted here is the beautifully romantic movie scene in which Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg kiss in the middle of bustling 1969 Paris.  Contemporary colors, reference to the framing of a screen and the minimalistic detailing creates distance, allowing time and nostalgic memory to be consciously observed.
