Ten decades twenty photos

Photographer Anna Lisa has explored the themes of society and culture in these 10 sets of photographs. In each pair, she recreates both the culture and counter culture of the past ten decades. A very innovative and enjoyable concept, she has not only replicated the style and clothes of the decade but also the development of photography and the general feel of the era.

Andrei Tarkovsky

Andrei Tarkovsky was a critically acclaimed film director from Soviet Russia but worked mostly in Italy after his films were prevented from winning awards in the Soviet Union.

Between 1979 and 1982, Tarkovsky took around 60 polaroid pictures, titled 'Instant Light' depicting his native Russia and Italy. 

“Tarkovsky often reflected on the way time flies and wanted to stop it… The melancholy of seeing things for the last time is the highly mysterious and poetic essence that these images leave with us. It is as though Andrei wanted to transmit his own enjoyment quickly to others. And they feel like a fond farewell.”
