Buurt waar de familie Wachenheimer woonde, vanuit de woning van de familie, en Isabel met haar moeder Else Wachenheimer in de woning, maart-april 1931, München Possibly 1931 - 1933

This album page by the Wachenheimer family from March-April 1931 shows their neighborhood in Munich, alongside portraits of young Isabel with her mother Else. The muted tones make me think about memory and how it fades and shifts over time. I imagine the family carefully arranging these snapshots, trying to hold onto the details of their lives. The architecture is lovely but what really gets me are the interior views, those glimpses into their home. The light filtering through the curtains and Isabel's expressions capture a sense of intimacy and everyday life. I wonder what it was like for Else to take these photos, documenting her daughter's growth against the backdrop of a changing world. It makes me think about how we use art to make sense of our lives, creating our own personal mythologies through images. Each photograph becomes a brushstroke in a larger family history, a continuous painting that layers our present over the past.
