Frieda is this 1929~ Box Camera at the bottom right corner.
She is named after the woman in this photo: Berlin-born photographer Frieda Mayer Jacobsohn, whom she accompanied during the last years before forced to leave Berlin in 1933, through her voyage to Tel-Aviv-Jaffa, and finding her way there.
In 2009 many of the photos she took were exhibited in the Jewish Museum Berlin.
Frieda Mayer Jacobsohn was my grandmother.
Since October 2014, Frieda’s Box Camera takes me to see the world through her eyes. Experiences from long ago and other lands are still stored in her memory. She finds and shows me new layers of experience, in those same places –– in my hometown Tel Aviv, in Frieda’s hometown Berlin, and some new ones. Watch video here.
She senses times and spaces.
She offers images as a way of communication throughout experiences.
