FIRST VERSION
- WHAT (105 words)
The project “Familiar landscapes” is a photographic approach and reinterpretation of the photographic archive of my family. It is composed by digital pictures of analog photographs but also takes different other mainly but also takes the form of a photobook “essay”. There are different series on it, labelled by formal aspects such as the quality (color, the kind of film) or the size. The period of the in The original along photographs were taken in the 60s and 70s mainly in the city of Alicante and in the village where they were born, near Guadalajara, corresponding to my mother and my aunt’s childhood and youth.
- HOW (100 words)
I started digitalizing analog photographs with my Camera Nikon D610 and a lens of 50mm: I also used a Canon 5D with a macro lens. As I didn’t have the right materials to digitalize it in the best way/quality, I used my flash and other light sources that I found at home (I did it during the lockdown). While digitalizing the analog photos, I found random material qualities that (such as reflections? due to the brightness of the paper or designs and writings) engraved in them that I found interesting and that besides the information of the image itself.
- WHY (128 words)
In the summer 2021 I collected all the photographs of my family which were almost abandoned in the house of my grandparents in the seaside. I found that during the lockdown I would have enough time to clarify and digitalize it. Every summer since I was a child I looked to these photos and tried to figure out the relationship between my mother, my aunt and my grandparents, and the none of them were keen? to talk and express their feelings, that is why there are a lot of aspects of their lives (and also mine) that were never spoken or shared. By “re-photographing” or “re-interpreting” this images I found a way of “depict” and “express” or “represent” the silence and anxiety of the familiar story.
