I melded with Roman Vishniac's Children of a Vanished World (1999), which captured Jewish shtetl life in Poland, Romania, Russia, and Hungary between 1935 and 1938. This exchange was the result of altering the primary text and adding images to the original publication from my project, Ghosts: French Holocaust Children, which was based on Serge and Beate Klarsfeld's photographic archive of the 11,000 French Jewish children murdered in the Holocaust. The outcome is a visual salute to the original works that wrestle with the ontological status of things, the examination what we collectively agree exists and how photographic meaning fluctuates over time.

The transformed 9.25 x 9.25-inch hardcover book contains over 80 pages with hundreds of images.
