Abstract(s)
Research on contemporary photography served
as a basis for this project that revolves around
autoportraits, as a base, and documentary
photography that provides context to it. Touching
personal questions like solitude, detachment,
and day to day routine, these series of
photographs are then the ground for telling
not just one story, but rather trigger different
meanings and toughts in people who explore
them, looking at them as universal questions
rather than isolated personal documentation.
This classification of photographs being both a
mirror and a window to the world ties this project
tightly to the contemporary art photography
discourse. The series is made sometimes paying
homage to some of the important personas
of the contemporary photographic practice or
following some of the most destinguishable
“subgenres”. The overall feel, as well as the
style of all the individual photographs, is calm
and unintrusive, as opposed to most of the
things we are presented to in our life, where
being loud is considered the only way to get
heard. The final product of this project is a
photography book, specially designed and
handmade to present the photography series.
