Attempts of Reconstruction (2011)
Installation with light boxes
"Attempts or Reconstruction" (2011) is based on a series of old photographs of my parents' house. The purpose of the original photographs was informative, but - through their poor quality - they remain in the family photo boxes. The work consists of the reconstruction of this underexposed photos and search for their changed meaning.
