Melancholia is a series of photographs (original format are polaroids) taken on bridges in London, Frankfurt and Berlin in the same way my father did many years ago in former Czechoslovakia. The person holding the flower remains unknown. The images gives an imaginative possession of the past and a feeling that we can hold onto something that no longer exists. It is an investigation on how we construct memories and stories and put them into meaningful context. Foreign places awaken new constructed memories and generalise new imaginations.
