Seiichi Furuya : Memoires, 1995

For Furuya the countless photographs he had taken ever since their first date became precious repositories of memory, each one a key to emotions past and a way of holding on to Christine, his wife, who committed suicide in 1985.\n\nThe photographs in Mémoires 1995 as innocent as they might seem at first glance are all imbued with a sense of tragedy and a foreboding of death. And yet this is not just another love story with an unhappy ending; it is an unsettling meditation on the nature of photography, on how time’s inexorable passing changes the nature and use of photographs.
