identity crisis

The photography festival Contact is going to begin shortly, and while looking at the upcoming exhibitions I came across this...

In 1992, Bruno Rosier found twenty-five prints dated from 1937 to 1953 in a flea market, showing the same person posing alone in front of famous landmarks all over the world. This discovery was the starting point for a photographic odyssey that was also intended as an exploration of self- representation and the artistic process. Rosier decided to follow this man's footsteps (only his initials, R.T. are known), in order to re-create the same shots half a century laster he dressed and posed in accord with the original photographs.

Now that is determination.... should be fun.
