In Sights of Unary, photographer Vincent Zanni investigates the meaning and function of family photos as a tool to preserve memories and hand down identity and experiences down to future generations. In the book over 400 photos are compiled, all part of a very extensive family photographic archive, collected and kept by Vincents’ late grand mother.
The archive depicts the lives of a Swiss family and contains 2000+ images, some dating back to the very beginning of commercial photography in the late 1800’s. Because these photos are very personal we felt that it was necessary to highlight the universal importance of the generational family photograph. A specific choice of paper results in a unique display of layered imagery; creating new and distorted compositions that mimic the nature of our own memory, where memories are fluid and the past will never be as clear it was once experienced.
Finally the softcover book is covered with a hand printed cyanotype dustjacket also playing to the fading of time and memories.
