irina werning: back to the future

compelled by the qualities and narrative-charged nature of vintage images, buenos aires-based 
photographer irina werning has started a series of portraits fittingly titled, 'back to the future'. 
largely consisting of diptychs, the project has subjects re-enact a childhood photograph from 
their past in their current image today. the result is a surreal, time-traveling carbon copy that 
manages to capture a sense of the subject's biography. 

alarmingly detailed in props, image quality, colour balance and expressions,
the haunting portraits are at once nostalgic and charming, illustrating that - even with 
the inevitable effects of time - we are who we are; people change, but they don't change.
