Roots by Eva Saukane
Through the faded fractions of memories, the book Roots tells the family-story of the artist, Eva Saukane. The book consists of an unedited roll of film, which Saukane discovered inside her grandfather's camera. Having stood untouched for about 20 years, fungi had grown into the film, blurring the images similarly as time does to our recalled memories. When Saukane found the camera, the film inside had two exposures left to be taken. Unknowingly completing her grandfathers work, Eva Saukane took the remaining shots and brought the film to be developed. It was only then she discovered the mysterious effect, and the ambiguous story of the family began to unravel.
