Paula Salischiker




Can photography fill the emptiness of death? Is a photograph enough to remember someone´s existence? Or are the objects the ones that bring us back the certainty that there was a past? Perhaps in the objects and in the longevity of images we find the same painful truth: what does not have a life will never die. Even after we are gone, we will be remembered through small things, pieces of who we were will be kept by the ones who loved us, while trying to escape the oblivion. My images are born from this gesture of remembrance.


-Paula Salischiker


I was really interested to discover the work of Paula Salischiker as it echoes my own idea of involving photos,objects and text to create a memory of someone or somewhere. She has done this through her photography - drawing a connection between a person and a belonging.
