Primogenitors

When you face death in your family, albums full of ancient photographs can tell us a pretty big story. Unfortunately, so many documents and pictures are lost, or old time portraits can even never exist. Today, in the era of digital technologies we have a chance to start creating our own genealogy, make a research of our own identity and history and as a result save it digitally for next generations. The series Primogenitors is a research of a family portrait, where I explore my roots, nation and own identity.
