Back to the '80s.

Conceptually, when I was looking at the ideas I had collected for this piece, I remembered "stumbling upon" Brazilian photographer Irina Werning's works titled "Back to the Future" (a series of photos she has continued in 2011), in which she recreates old photographs with the present-day versions of each individual.


In my hopes to create this piece around memories (including ones from childhood), I thought of the wonderfully captivating contrast, and almost eerie similarities between old and new photos in Wernings works:

Nico in 1986 & 2010.

Buenos Aires

Lali in 1978 & 2010.

Buenos Aires

And though, I'm not hoping to in any near future jump back into my 1980's clothes from my childhood, and do a vivid recreation of my childhood, I'm hoping to engage some emotional memories that'll hopefully lend something else to the piece I'm working on.
