This project is an investigation of a community of cartes de visite. Cartes de visiteare 10,5cm high by 6,5cm wide cards, which have extremely detailed portraits of individuals, captured in an intimate moment to document who they were. It is an excavation of the carte de visiteas object and its materiality, as a collection, as a fragment which captures the sentimentality of people who have outlived their portraits. The carte de visite is a piece of photo history, an autobiographical trace, a social phenomenon of the past and present. This body of work is a result of a personal process and psychoanalytical challenge to overcome loss. 2015-07-01T09:04:15Z 2015-07-01T09:04:15Z 2014 Master Thesis Masters MFA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/13254 eng application/pdf Michaelis School of Fine Art Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
