In 2017 when artist and filmmaker Lee Shulman bought a random box of vintage slides he fell completely in love with the people and stories he discovered in these unique windows in to our past lives. 

Collecting and preserving unique colour slides from the last 70 years, the project was born out of a desire to preserve this collective memory and give a second life to the people often forgotten in these timeless moments captured in stunning Kodachrome colour.

These amateur photographs are a kaleidoscopic diary of that era, all the more fascinating and arresting because of their unpolished quality. Often funny, surprising and touching these images tell the stories of all our lives. 

The Anonymous Project has in turn become an artistic endeavour and is the basis for Lee Shulman's work as an artist, filmaker and photographer. Often mixing all these different mediums in new hybrid and immersive experineces and installations that seeks to give meaning to these once forgotten memories and create new ways of interpretation and story telling that question our place in the world today.
