“Mi Soberbia Juventud”

This is a scrapbook made out 35mm film photography of daily moments in Francesca’s life, combined with scanned pages from her personal journal and altered pages from La Soberbia Juventud by Chilean author Pablo Simonetti. Mi Soberbia Juventud looks to describe the experience of moving countries, dealing with a new culture, and the emotions and feelings that arise within. Francesca describes that “this can be viewed as a tactile embodiment of what the inside of my mind looks and feels like”, experiencing what is like living through an interconnection of two different cultures. This is a narrative of a combination of various contrasting spaces, with no language barrier, about how these relationships with space and people affects Franceca’s being.
