Tiivistelmä
The photographic portion of this thesis is a photo book dummy consisting of 61 black and white photographs, and 9 excerpts from journal entries written while the images were made. The work takes place within ones childhood hometown and in the proximity of it. While looking into a subjective sense of disconnection, the work also touches upon the state of small towns in the modern age, as well as dealing with the inevitable passing of time.
The written part is a collection of thoughts that derived from working on the book. While it goes through the themes and process behind the work, it also investigates documantary photography as a term, Bertolt Brecht’s theory of estrangement effect in relation to photography, as well as the concept of nostalgia.
