Family Tales

Family Tales (2022) is a project focused on ancestry search, rediscovering author’s family archives and interpreting stories by combining archival photographic materials with historic and experimental photographic processes from gum bichromate to wet collodion, chlorophyll printing on leaves from Kuca family hometown to photographic installation.

Through a range of printing materials and by reworking collected stories on childhood, sickness, marriage from family members, it reflects on timeless familial relationships. Materials were gathered during visits to Poland over the years of the author living abroad and the project was put together in UK.
