From Another Time

The series »From Another Time« was shot between summer 2022 and 2023 in Tuscany where I grew up with my daughter Guadalupe as the model, using MiNT SRL670 camera and new Polaroid sx70 BW film. The project reflects my everlasting attempt to capture and preserve brief, fugitive moments of greatness and beauty. It is about intense, almost mesmerising, yet volatile fragments of life that evoke a feeling of nostalgia, best comprehended by the German concept of »Sehnsucht« – a deep, emotional, almost painful, longing or yearning for something. »From Another Time« has different layers of expression and emotion: it is about childhood, my own as well as my daughter's. And it is about grieving and the loss of my mother and her grandmother. And it is about continuity in form of a deep connection with the place where I grew up.
