Since the creation of photography there have been a lot of images born, and those images have mixed into the images which we have today. For example, from Paris, we may send postcards to our loved ones with images from the past, while at the same time we shoot new images with our cameras and use them in the same level of time.In this project I created a new kind of "found photo." My idea was to make an accumulation of images and time by using unknown images from the antique market and mixed with images that took personally.

Story

In that long gone age, photography worked diligently to force time to become an image; the second and the minute became an immovable instant. And with the passage of time the meaning of photography has changed with the progress of its technique. Now, the time required to respond to "time" with a picture has changed.

Now, since the creation of photography there have been a lot of images born, and those images have mixed into the images which we have today. For example, from Paris, we may send postcards to our loved ones with images from the past, while at the same time we shoot new images with our cameras and use them in the same level of "time."

In this project I created a new kind of "found photo." My idea was to make an accumulation of "images" and "time." I decided to use "unknown" images form the antique market. Also, I used images that took personally and mixed all the images to create a final image.

After I printed this "found photo," I used a polaroid camera to insert the present "time" into the image, and thus separate the unknown images from their original moment of creation. This project produced my work, "Found Photo in Lille, France" which belongs neither to its "own time" nor to the present.
