Historia, memoria y silencios

Argentine photographer Lorena Guillen Vaschetti about her work Historia, memoria y silencios: “My mother and I are the only members left of a big Italian family. Convinced that she was lifting the heavy weight of the family past off my shoulders, she called me to let me know that she had thrown away all the family slides.” Lorena was able to recover only one box from the many that had been discarded. Examining the photographs from her own perspective, she re-photogtraphed select slides from a depth of field that leaves portions out of focus and the faces of her family members blurred.
