NGC 1952

NGC 1952 is an experiment with found photographs and astronomic images from the Hubble Space Telescope.

The photograph of the missing being will touch me like the delayed rays of a star.

Through photographs, the world becomes a series of unrelated, freestanding paticles; and history, past and present, a set of anecdotes and faits divers.

Susan Sontag in On Photography, 1977

Some time ago we found three boxes full of old family images on a small flea-market. The earliest photographs were from the late 19th century the most recent ones from the 1980s.
 Today the old family snapshot appear like paticles of a very different time. We can look at them, contruct new relations, interpret the faces and gestures, try to discover a heartiness.

We cannot stop to construct a story around these images — even though it is completely guided by our own beliefs and desires.
