Almost Vanished Friends
Almost Vanished Friends
Installation Almost Vanished Friends 2024.
210x114 cm
From two century-old fused glass negatives, forty-one forgotten faces re-emerge — strangers once lost to time, now reunited through art. Each fragment has been digitally restored and hand-painted, transforming decay into rebirth. Together, they form a silent gathering across generations — a tender reminder that even what fades can find new life through memory, colour, and light.
Discovered in 2019, the two glass plates had been stuck together for over forty years in a damp basement, their images partially destroyed by time. The fusion of one photograph of friends and another of two young boys accidentally created new, intertwined portraits — a miraculous union of lives never meant to meet. From this chance encounter, Almost Vanished Friends was born — a celebration of time’s unpredictability and art’s power to restore meaning to what was nearly lost.
