Tony Gonzalez’s autobiographical project addresses his personal experience of what it meant to grow up as a “minority” in suburbia during the ‘70s. His sources are 8mm home movies, his own family photographs and photographs of his parents when they were young. Gonzalez layers the generations and transforms the images – via computer – into a compelling family autobiography that speaks of cultural alienation and the struggles to remain united. |
