FOUND PHOTO FOUNDATION
Artist-led platform for the study and care of orphan photographs. There are multiple reasons photographs become orphan: they may
have been abandoned following the death of their owners, they may have been stolen, or they may have simply ceased to be useful and thrown in the garbage, from where they may have been rescued and put back on the market.
Organised in informal collections, the photographs are used for study, workshops, publications and exhibitions. Creative research methods allow to unravel the diverse meanings of collecting, exhibiting and publishing orphan photography.
