A family album is more than a collection of images—it is a vessel of memory, a silent witness to lives once lived, relationships formed, and moments that shaped generations. Some memories remain vivid, while others fade into fragments, alteredby time, emotion, and forgetting.
In Somewhere, Something Shines, Anna Fraire and Ivona Tau engage with these traces of the past, transforming their family archives through distinct yet complementary approaches. Anna Fraire reconstructs memory through physical collage, incorporating photographs with intimate artifacts, while Ivona Tau entrusts artificial intelligence to reinterpret her family’s history, training neural networks on archival images and film. Their works embody the tension between holding onto the past and allowing it to evolve, revealing how remembrance is not static but continuously reshaped by time, technology, and perception.
