Ladies & Gentlemen it is my great pleasure to introduce you to the wonderful, the glorious, the unique... Mamika !
It all started with Sasha Goldberger & his granny, the amazing Frederica, 91. Yes, you read well. 91 years old. And becoming a real star : you can actually follow her on facebook here !
Her grandson is photograph & wanted to save his grandmother from loneliness. So they decided together to create the character of Mamika, or "little grand mother" in Hungarian. The result ? Many disguises, geriatrics stunts, jokes & crazy photo shoots !
What I really enjoy in every photograph is its audacious side, very creative but still conveying a great sens of dignity.
Their work, & relationship are a message of hope, the possibility that we can all have a great sens of humor past 90 years old!
Chech Sasha's Goldberger' work here. It's fantastic.
Their book is hard to find in the U.S. The best way is to go is by a French website like here. It would be a great end of the year gift !
