Statement

Saudade / Saudade is a project about the relationship between people from my generation, those born in 1972, and objects of personal use that are held in sentimental regard. These objects, thought to be ephemeral and subject to the vicissitudes of time, have somehow lasted until today.

Each piece is represented by three photographs: the portrait of the subject in the present wearing the object, a reproduction of the old photograph of the original owner with the same object, and a photograph of the object on its own against a black background.

These triptychs evoke different levels of time and forms of photographic representation, and the relationship between a person and a parent as embodied in objects.
