M O M E N T O - Capturing Moments and Memories
Remember when…? Plenty of memories are captured in photographs, and still others are conjured up and recalled when we handle the camera that took those pictures. MOMENTO is a collection of personal memories evoked by the cameras which recorded the important moments of our lives. Each camera is photographed using the collodion wet-plate process to make it appear to be an historic object. The cameras are paired with the short story or memory from the owner. MOMENTO is full of human experience and the technological ambitions represented by the cameras. MOMENTO includes 41 cameras from 20 owners.
There are billions of photographs of the past and the memories of events in our lives which are indelibly connected to the cameras which captured the pictures. With each camera comes memories and reminiscences as vivid and vital as the pictures they captured. Everyone has memories which are conjured up when picking up that old camera which was integral part of the experience. The photographs in MOMENTO illustrate how quickly the technology of past imaging making has been made antique and obsolete..
