Growth and Evolution
Phillip Toledano My mum died suddenly on September 4th, 2006 After she died, I realized how much she’s been shielding me from my father’s mental state. He doesn’t have alzheimers, but he has no short term memory, and is often lost. I took him to the funeral, but when we got home, he kept asking me every 15 mintutes where my mother was. I had to explain over and Over again, that she had died. This was shocking news to him. Why had no-one told him? Why hadn’t I taken him to the funeral? Why hadn’t he visited her in the hospital? He had no memory of these events. Afer a while, I realized I couldn’t keep telling him that his wife had died. He didn’t remember, and it was killing both of us, to constantly re-live her death. I decided to tell him she’d gone to Paris, to take care of her brother, who was sick. And that’s where she is now. This is the journal. An ongoing record of my father, and our relationship. For whatever days we have left together.

The evolution of memories and personal histories Â
I started to be interested in my family pictures when I was leafing through a family album and found myself overwhelmed by an emotion of which I could not define the origin
The photographs spoke about me and my family, told things about my identity, my place in the world, my family history and its secrets, the fears that constructed me, and many other things that contributed to who I am today.
Like an archeologist, I dig out the pictures in which I appear from family albums and the shoe boxes full of photographs. I choose snapshots because they are related to memories and to loss.
I use embroidery’s decorative function to re-interpret my own history and to expose its failings
Destruction of an image
“It’s an exploration of contemporary Russian youth today. My most recent photos Girls, is a reflection on LGBT rights. Its quite a big issue in Russia right now. I promised to hide the twins’s identities and faces, so I burnt in their faces. I enjoyed creating the melted visual effect since these days, everything’s digital. Also, its relevant because lesbians were burned as witches in medieval times”.
The history and evolution of a photograph Â
Kris Vervaeke  Ad Infinitum is a selection of over 1,000 pictures which Kris Vervaeke took from the portraits found on tombstones in Hong Kong. The project contains hundreds of photographs - on the one hand there is endless individuality and variety — no two faces are ever the same and their individual patterns of decay are fascinating. At the same time, there is repetition, anonymity and abstraction. No photographs contain names or dates

The animation series, Staccato째 (Sketches 1-4) poignantly considers our relationship with the natural world, as well as our relationship with the still photograph.

‘I specifically find interest in the ways in which we have become dependent upon this technology to help aid us in our navigation of our every day and how it affects our perception of the world around us all socially, emotionally, and physically – it is no longer about logging on or off, but rather living within and creating harmony with the realms and constructs of the internet for our newest generation of inhabitants.’

The abstract patterns, shapes and colors in my photographs represent the part of me that is open, spontaneous and creative.

Life and death
In her time volunteering with a birdwatching group dedicated to making Baltimore a safe city for migrating birds, artist Lynne Parks collected birds killed by skyscapers and decided to photograph them to show the tradegy of the phenomenon. “I wanted to emphasise the individual…I want to honour them as well as inform about the issue”
