Visages sans histoires / Vitam aeternam

"Visages sans histoires" and "Vitam aeternam" refer to the old technique of double exposure, but I use instead two or three individual negatives that are overlayed. Death, transience and time is again a central leitmotif. Faded pictures of the graves of passed people are put in dialogue with daily and ephemeral objects - here grass and newspapers from the streets of Havanna - stories that the dead seem having lost with time. And the sculptures of the graves of passed people are put in dialogue with daily objects, creating a contradictum of the "lively" stone portraitures and the obviously dead of the material (and the death itself).
