Synopsis
Could someone sell their memories? How much do memories cost? What is the reason someone decides to sell their most precious family memories? And who buys these memories?
A photograph begins its life-cycle in the moment of its creation. It is a snapshot of a moment in time that it preserves. By the act of selling it and buying the photograph, the photograph gains an additional stage in its life and a new purpose.
All photographs used in the film were bought on the second-hand market – making the film a bought-footage time-capsule, and at the same time, a glimpse into the post-capitalist world where even memories are for sale.
