The Anonymous Project

The Anonymous Project's goals are to collect, scan, and catalogue colour photographic slides from the last 80 years. We curate the collection and house them in a single database, which becomes an invaluable resource for students and cultural historians, or simply anybody who wants to look back on life in these periods and see it as it was captured through this singular medium. Curating these images is the most challenging part of this endeavor, but crucial for creating exhibitions, interactive events, catalogues and books. We foresee a multitude of exhibitions growing out of this collection, built around various themes, such as ‘love' or ‘friendship' or ‘loneliness.' The possibilities for thematic exploration are limitless. Our first exhibition, "The Anonymous Project #1", took place in Paris at the end of January. The Anonymous Project is a Paris-based nonprofit organisation.
