Dare alla Luce – I dream of that day

source: ifitshipitshereblogspot

In her series, Dare alla Luce, photographer Amy Friend alters vintage images by deliberately allowing light to pass through them. Amy says the project aims to return the photographs, and indeed the souls of the subjects, to the atmosphere. “In a literal and somewhat playful manner,” she says. “I aimed to give the photographs back to the light, hence the title of the series, Dare alla Luce, an Italian phrase used to describe the moment of birth.”

La fotógrafa Amy Friend busca imágenes vintage en internet, tiendas de segunda mano y mercadillos para más tarde alterarlas haciendo pequeños agujeros por los que deja pasar la luz. El resultado es esta serie de imágenes que la artista ha titulado Dare alla luce, una frase italiana que como habréis presupuesto significa dar a luz.

“Le rapport entre l’inconnu, les transparences entre ce qui est vu et ce qui ne se voit pas, entre ce qui est dit et le non-dit. La réalité concrète ne m’intéresse pas. Je préfère les notions d’histoire, de mémoire, de temps. Dare alla luce, une expression italienne pour décrire la naissance. Une renaissance.”
