About the Work
In 2008, Sebastiaan Bremer happened upon a box of negatives from a 1973 family trip to the Alps. Having never seen these images of his parents and siblings before, he was struck by the slice of life they provided insight into: the snowcapped Alps, the brilliant sun, and the youth of his parents. Bremer amplified the the beauty and happiness of the photographs with colorful marks of varying opacity, so that the figures within could understand the blissful perfection of the world they inhabited and recognize the joy in that time and place, surrounded by sparks of the gods.

Prints are hinged to a conservation quality, acid-free and lignin-free Cellulose matboard, using acid-free polyethylene cloth tape.
