Back to the Future - Irena Werning

It's been done before, old family photos recreated decades after they were originally taken. The big difference with Irena Werning's work is the level of authenticity and detail she has gone to.





Not only has she recreated the scene with the same people in the exact location she has matched as closely as possible the clothing, pose and even the acessories (kudos for the girl with the extra large teddy-bear as an adult).



Most tellingly of this artists dedication to her work is that she has recreated the style of the photograph.

Irina Werning is a photographer based in Buenos Aires, there is I think you will agree, a great theatricality to her work and a real sense of the satisfaction she gets from her art. She is already the recipient of numerous photography prizes but I think there are still great things to come from her.
