The family photo album becomes a relic. An artifact valuable on its own. after the work of artists like .... Whose to say that The online album or the cellphone album is in anyway inferior. The memorial ideation of the subject of self portrait and family is an idea dating back to the renassance. We care about the work because it reveals something about someone else while allowing us to imagine ourselves in there shoes
The ability of one idea to contradict another in the world of fine art is static in saying that the only constant is change.
The fuel that runs the artistic engine is drawn from the dynamics of individual life stories.
Why struggle to justify the significance of a work of art when it is so apparently the point of view of one specific individual. If validity is not debatable then the work is inert and lacks the ability to trigger dialogue. It is founded upon the principal of magic a combination of self portraits and family photography generates a catalyst for nastalgia looking towards the future.
