Brigitte Carnochan - Imagining Then: A Family Story, 1941-47
May 12, 2012 through June 23, 2012
Old photographs tease out fragments of memory—a laugh, a sigh, a conversation the camera interrupts and then suspends across time. Looking at photographs and documents that came to me after my
parents died, I’m struck not only by how much I’ve forgotten but also how easily and quickly the past rushes back when called. In these images, I have drawn a map of my life by taking the random
but tangible artifacts my parents left behind and reordering them within a larger historical context.
