Traces of the Past
We breathe new life into forgotten moments and uncover the faces of the past
This is a sentimental project about remembering the past. We observe history through photographs and videos frozen in time to reconnect with how life was lived in the past. Get to know your ancestors, fathers, mothers and family. Learn about your neighbours, friends and lost acquaintances. Discover the stories of their lives and research the past to see how they lived. The creators of this project are Nela Gudelj and Hrvoje Juvančić.
