Modern Family Photo Album / 2013
This "album" is a timeless interactive piece on Facebook, viewable at this link.
As photography continues to exist in different forms, this piece makes the transition to online photo albums. It converts printed photos of the past to a digital format super-imposed with actual Facebook profile pictures of each of my individual family members ("friends" on Facebook). The series also conveys modern tension between private and public photos and therefore highlights the limiting parameters of Facebook tagging and geo-locating. Memories are produced both through the content of the photos and through the online affirmations: "likes," "comments" and "sharing."
