I PHOTOGRAPH TO REMEMBER<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I photograph to remember is a personal and moving record, conceived by Pedro Meyer as a tribute to his parents. The artist recovers moments lived in the late eighties, and through this work not only reveals his love story, but also the perspective of a son facing the imminent departure and farewell of such crucial beings. This deeply personal work was born from his desire to review the memories captured with the camera to fully understand the experience. <\/p>

In 1991, at the invitation of Bob Stein, co-founder of Voyager Company, Meyer was developing Truths and Fictions, the first artistic audiovisual representation in CD-ROM format. A month later, back in Los Angeles, he showed the businessman the photographs of his parents that he had taken over the past few years. Upon seeing these images, Stein asked him to stop the initial project to focus fully on the production of I photograph to remember. <\/p>

The exploration stage of this innovative photographic essay consisted of just 30 copies on CD-ROM. However, its success was such that more than 80,000 reproductions were made, distributed in different parts of the world. <\/p>

Meyer combined the still image with continuous stereophonic sound. Subsequently, he edited the images together with his own oral narration and music by Manuel Rocha. The result was an intimate piece, made with a tool that until then was unimaginable for such a purpose. <\/p>

The artist shares with us an interesting reflection on how he achieved these images so sensitive and capable of transmitting all kinds of feelings:<\/p>

<\/p>

\u201cI am often asked how I managed to photograph my parents the way I did. I usually answer that I asked myself questions about privacy and intimacy, and even questioned my decision to be present with a camera in such personal moments.<\/em>“<\/p>


\u201cWhat those who ask probably don’t know is that I have always photographed my family. Little by little, the camera became an omnipresent and almost invisible instrument throughout our coexistence. In addition, there was always a high degree of trust between us.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>


\u201cOver time I have come to appreciate a decisive aspect: my parents never tried to control the photographs. In many ways, this is a testament to their openness, as they never sought to hide or conceal anything. In fact, my mother was always skeptical about posing in a certain way or ‘wanting to look good for the photo’.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
