A series of 71 found (b/w) passport photographs of a female person, the earliest from 1926, the latest from 1978, with a brief text at the end by Christian Bunyan. “The impulse to mark our lives is universal. Start a diary, build a house, write a poem. The proliferaton of online blogs in our own time is testament to the desire to cry “Her, I exist. This is me.”By collecting and documenting her passport photographs over some sixty years, the woman in this book demarcated her life in black and white, declaring her existence (even if only to herself).”
