Memories of grandparents are above all childhood memories of old people. Yet what do we know of the time when our grandparents were young? They are our most personal link to a past that we only know from films and books. But how did our grandparents live and love back then? What exactly remains from a life? In his long-term project 'Meine Grosseltern Erinnerungsbüro (My Grandparents/Memory Bureau)', Mats Staub pursues these questions by speaking with grandchildren and presenting their memories in a site-specific installation. This project has evolved into a continually growing international archive of subjective histories accompanied by a collection of photographs showing grandparents when they were young. The photographs include souvenir pictures taken by amateur photographers and ritualized photography aimed at capturing surroundings, people and objects in a certain moment.
