Less than a year later, Peter’s parents were dead and he began visiting his grandmother at the store, following what his mother had begun.
The store “well like that, ” said Peter. ” It looked like a store no one would ever walk into. It was old-fashioned.
He took a computer to the store, digitized the archives and organized the collection, and discovered that this dusty circle of family affairs attracted him more than he had thought in the past. He also reconnected it with his grandmother.
“My connection to my grandmother was similar to my mother’s loss and we ended up,” Peter said. “We have friends and partners. We were in combination all the time.
His partner tested in intensity in the award-winning 2011 documentary “Life in the Stills” through Tamar Tal, produced through the Heymann Brothers production team, which shows them suffering to save the store due to the structure of a luxury residential tower to outline their own appointments after their shared tragedy.
In the film, Peter is already part of The Photo House and is a presence in his elderly grandmother’s life, touring look-to-look with her in the store and having soup with her in her component. He convinced her to move to Frankfurt with him for an exhibition, took a nap through his appearance and drove his wheelchair.
She died in 2011 at the age of 98, just after the store was evicted by the city and moved to her transit location.
“While confronted by some adjustments in the store, their personalities merged,” said Peter, who presents an affectionate, respectful and loving attitude towards his grandmother in the film. It’s transparent that they were friends.
“We fought a little bit and if we did, we reconciled immediately,” he said.
Of Weissenstein’s seven grandchildren, Peter was the only one interested in The Photo House, and told him that he would take care of her and dedicate his life to her.
“She knew I’d worry about that and make it mine,” she said. “It’s my job, like anyone whose paintings are vital to him. “
He sought to revive the studio in its original location, with plans for exhibitions and merchandise. He also sought to create a position where others could only have formal photographs, and a gallery with lectures and painting workshops to welcome other photographers, following the paintings. who had made the space of the original photo.
“It’s kind of a birthday party all the time the pictures appear,” Peter said. “It can be virtual or physical, large or small, our purpose is to publish the images and make other people recognize and get excited. “
The return to the original took place this spring, ten years after the move.
However, Peter is now running out of budget and has organized a Headstart collective funding crusade to raise 300,000 shekels until September 18 to complete renovations and plans.
“It is a duty for me to continue this visual and nostalgic experience,” Peter said. “We’re giving this a position, it’s our program. “
