The Forgotten Lives Project
The Evanston Art Center (EAC) is excited to welcome the public to The Forgotten Lives Project
“I’m a digital collage artist and photographer and a collector of early portrait photography—daguerreotypes, tintypes, and cabinet cards from the 1800s. I’m fascinated and sometimes saddened by these mysterious and haunting photographs of long-forgotten people, and I’m driven not only to preserve their memory, but to awaken it. My work intertwines 19th century photographs with whimsical objects and animals, creating playful, surreal, and haunting worlds. Titled The Forgotten Lives Project, these reimagined images aim to bring life to long-lost souls and tell a new story.” -David Bender
The Forgotten Lives Project will be exhibited in the Lobby Gallery of the Art Center. The opening reception is free and open to the public. This exhibition is partially funded by the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency, and the EAC’s general membership.
