His(s)tory

• Photographer
  Judith Wimmer, Austria

The historical photography from a flea-market shows unknown persons who must have died
long ago. While looking into their eyes we are searching for their fate. We try to imagine
their destinies, their long-forgotten future - which is a thing of the past meanwhile.
The photo with its various layers switches between times and dimensions. It brings the old
picture back into present age and shows one possible version of “his story/history”.
