Photographs have the power to represent a fleeting moment of reality, emotion, or both. They can serve as a personal stance on documentation, while simultaneously creating a fantasy of something that was once real. If life is beautiful in its imperfections, then photography can be a true or false reflection of this. Much has changed since the beginning of photography, but what has stayed constant is the unwavering desire to document the world around us. We see what we want to see, and photography’s gift to humanity is the ability to further document that selective vision and place a time stamp on it. Snapshots of seemingly uninteresting objects, places, and people seem cliché until they become important chunks of history later down the line. Photographs can be better referred to as “visual memories.” Just like photographs, we can revisit memories as many times as we want. I am interested in both the reality of the world around me, as well as the potential of what it could be in terms of the documented image. Through the use of appropriated family imagery and alternative analog photographic processes, Remainder / Reminder invites the viewer to reflect on his or her own idea of memory and partake in the nostalgia of photographic history coming full circle.
