Germany / Austria / 1930s / 1940s / protagonists

The photos were taken from the photo archive of an anonymous studio photographer. The archive consists of 2,500 glass plate negatives — all professional portrait shots of women and men, and wedding photos from the 1930s and 1940s. Some were damaged by environmental influences. The archive was digitized, examined, and indexed according to the criteria available. No reference to the portrait photographer was found, nor were there any references to the persons depicted. The portraits of one or more people in different poses are brought to life through their juxtaposition. The rhythmic sound of the mouse click refers to both the hit singers and the archival viewing of photos. The selection of images was random.
