“Gorgeous life” is a book that I developed working with an archive of photography. This archive documents three generations of a family, non-related to me, that lived in Romania. The material I focused my attention on in this project, documents the last descendants of this family, that stopped it`s blood line with a man that appears often in the images as a young boy.The object book I produced quotes the unwinding of a film spool in a filming device. The entire aesthetic of the object is inspired by the old photographic machinery. In this work I used the images that are immediate that are multiple variants of the same moment. I compiled these images in long composites that mimic the celluloid strips of motion pictures, even though they cannot be used as such. I produced panoramas that compress time in the same photo.Using images that have similar background I expanded the time frame depicted in some of the strips.
