A walk 2019
‘Changeling’.(Dutch: Wisselkind) What if your memories were different from the stories you were told by your family? I decided to create a fictive life… since memories were playing tricks on us all, I could make my own. In this project ‘Changeling’ I captured memories by playing with the concept of time, space and scale within an imaginary life. I found that family albums and snapshots are not merely objects. They elicit social rituals of going through the photos over and over again with family members. In the process of time the story line fades and becomes incomplete, if not incoherent, which I find to be a wonderful metaphor for the inaccuracies and false stories created by memory. The photographic concepts used in this series have been realized through analogue photography, polaroids and and the use of different handcrafted blurring- and extricating techniques. Changeling is an ongoing project, it will be both a photobook and an exhibition.

Pascale Hustings
Netherlands
In my photographic installations, photo art books and photo’s I investigate (collective) memories by playing with the concepts of time, space and scale within an imaginary life.
I graduated from art school HKU and the Photo Academy in Amsterdam.
My work won several International Awards and has been on show during International Photo Festivals. I already (self)published two photo art books ( https://www.selfpublishersunited.com ) and my photos were published in different independent magazines.
