The Past Is In Us
2017-2019
Inspired by Phillip Toledano’s ‘Days With My Father’ photo series, I was compelled to record my grandparents transition into institutionalised aged care. For 3 years, I photographed their experience with my grandfather’s Rolleiflex; a camera from the past, persisting in the present, and a familiar sight to the residents. Together, we slowly eased in to this strange new world - a transient non-place at the end-of-life.
