Amy friend

Canadian photographer Amy Friend explores the relationship between what is visible and non-visible in these photographs. The series is called Dare Alla Luce, an Italian term meaning “to give birth to” which literally means " to give to the light." She takes vintage photographs and pierces them, the patterns evoking new images and hidden meanings.

Re-photographing the altered print, she captures eerily doubled images that appear ghostly and divine, as if dotted with stars. The figures immortalized here are strangers to Friend, and by piecing the surface of the two dimensional print, she allows portions of mysterious recollections to irrevocably vanish.
