"I grew up surrounded by portraits and objects that belonged to five generations of my family. As a child I looked at the portraits and played with them. If I didn't know the names of the characters, I invented them. I remember staring at them for hours and felt like they look at me. Sometimes I talked with them, and apparently this led to the fact that I recreate," says the author of the photo project.

As soon as Fuchs ends the work on a detailed reconstruction of each portrait remains the final touch — insert the resulting work in the frame corresponding to the time period in which he lived, one or the other ancestor. This series of images — a great tribute to the past of his family, and if some of his characters were alive today, he would surely have been proud descendant.
