i’m jealous of amy friend
Oh my! Fairy dust, fireflies, and maybe just a little bit of magic. There is something almost celestial about this lovely found image series, titled Dare alla Luce by Canadian artist/photographer Amy Friend. Here’s how, and why, she did them:
“Through small deliberate interventions, I altered these vintage images, allowing light to pass through them. (After all, photographs are made possible with light.) In a literal and somewhat playful manner, I aimed to give the photographs back to the light, hence the title of the series, Daré alla Lucé, an Italian phrase used to describe the moment of birth.”

Hello Jealous Curator. I love your blog. This works are very beautiful. They remind me of the lightboxes by Daniele Buetti, Swiss (1956).
