NOGA SHTAINER

Pandora
(2014-2017)

“When the child was a child,
the child walked with arms hanging down,
wanted the creek to be a river,
the river to be wide,
and this puddle to be the sea.”
(Peter Handke, Song of being a child)

The series “Pandora” was made in Berlin, over 4 years, where I have been living with my family since 2010.

Those photographed are my family and most especially my two daughters.
The series is a collection of individual images.
I am opening a hatch to my past and to my childhood; it is a diary process of finding out about my self by looking to my past in a retrospective manner.
I am searching for the lost, for the moments of this previous part of life that was covered up.
I collect my own remembered child- hood images in order to save them from oblivion once and for all.
