‘Changeling'.

What if you were a Changeling?
What if your memories were different from the stories you were told by your family?
What if you felt out of place, like writing in someone else’s diary?

My sense of being a Changeling appeared to be a universal feeling, so I decided to create a fictive life… since memories were playing tricks on us all, I could make my own.
I found that family albums indirectly attempt to tell us a story. In the process the story line fades and becomes incomplete, if not incoherent, which I find to be a wonderful metaphor for the inaccuracies and false stories created by memory.
In this project ‘Changeling’ I recreated memories by playing with the concept of time, space and scale within an imaginary life. I used different photographic concepts to experience the passing of time.

‘Changeling’ will be both a photobook and an exhibition. It’s an ongoing project.
