The premise of Clarisse d’Arcimoles’ artwork is to reconstruct photographs taken during her own childhood, or that of her family members, and to subsequently juxtapose the resultant images in order to highlight the transformation of the protagonist represented within the photo. In recapturing these nostalgic moments, the artist suggests that whilst the physicality of the person may have altered over time, their personality remains unwavering.
