Paszport by Beata Wehr
$100.00
Paszport is a book about immigration, identity, displacement and nostalgia. I digitally collaged several old documents – passport, visas, identity cards, with some meaningful ephemera such as butterfly stamp from a letter from my family. Central spread contains image I constructed from both of my worlds: Sonoran Desert landscape combined with a transplanted and multiplied monument of a Polish King Sigismunt III Vasa from Warsaw. This very personal work is not only about a significant change of the place where I live; it also takes the viewer back in time to the eighties and early nineties.
