Taken over the last three decades, these amateur snapshots depict the familiar events of modern family life: births, weddings, vacations, parties, graduations, visits and confirmations. Mlecko creates a unity among these images by rephotographing and enlarging each one, a process that blurs the photos and gives them a painterly quality. Although recognizably amateur, this uniformity imbues the collection with an aesthetic weight and purpose. Viewers are both drawn in by their connection to the pictures' nostalgia, and distanced by the artist inserting-himself into these scenes of private life. The strength of these pictures lies not in their complex composition, but in the visceral expressions of joy, pride, love, loneliness, and dignity in their subjects. A fascinating glimpse at how we live, and of how we translate that living into art, this is a compelling examination of modern existence -- one that combines found art, documentary, and a contemporary artist's singular vision.
