American artist Angela Deane searches for old photographs of strangers, visualizing the "ghosts of the past" metaphor. She paints over the human figures in the photographs with white paint, with two black strokes denotes the eyes, and nameless, but quite definite people turn into ghosts in the symbolic interpretation traditional for Western (and especially American) culture - into shapeless figures hidden under a dense white veil.
The artist emphasizes that the project "Ghost Photographs" is centered around human memory, in particular - the idea of shared experience and the difference between personal and shared experience:
Angela Dean is trying to make other people's memories public domain, while London-based Tokyo-born Chino Otsuka, by contrast, sends herself back to her own past in a project called Imagine Finding Me. Imagine Finding Me "(" Imagine how you are looking for me ").
