Yesterday, When I Was Young

  • Nathan Klein
‘Yesterday, When I Was Young’ is a biographical project exploring notions of memory, escapism, and the repetition of mundane everyday existence.

Oscillating between oblique expressions and sequestered gestures, the work charts the daily lives of a family, a lover and the revelation of self-identity and sexuality.

Evoking a sense of melancholy, the impact of past events is present in a sequence of photographic images that interrogates the conflicts and reconciliations of family life. Unexpectedly cathartic, the act of looking has become the catalyst for self-discovery.
