“I am gonna live my life”

Barbora Bačová
2019–2020
I created this work at a time of my long term devastation, caused by the worries of a serious illness in my family.

The unusual form of the "book" in the form of loose sheets of paper bound together with a clip, reminds me of a medical file at the doctor's office. Record. The technical condition was to pause the computer, and focus on the manual activity of pasting photographs which represents a form of self-therapy and freedom of creativity. The images are taken with a smartphone and tend to be chronologically related. The caption "I am gonna live my life" is a phrase taken from the  cover of the diary, which i saw it in fashion store... This health diary links photography to everyday life through a powerful personal experience.
