    The Grandmothers

    Artist Feature of Magda Kuca

    Referencing early ethnographic photography records, this deeply personal series features portraits of the author's grandmother shot in wet plate collodion technique. Influenced by Slavic rituals and customs, the historic technique strengthens the link between the artistic approach and the desire to dive into one’s heritage through reflection on memory, folklore and technology.

    Magda Kuca is part of »Guest Room: Varun Gupta & Arpan Mukherjee«.
