Preserving the Past
((SOT))
((Amelie Diamant-Holmstrom

My father had his office. He had some beautiful paintings. And the Germans came and they took a knife and they cut up the Rembrandts in front of us.

Celebrating Self
((SOT))
((Selfie WRLD Visitor))
I think it is a shift in the way that we communicate with one another as a society. It’s also a form of art if you use it in that way.

Documenting Domesticity
((SOT))
((Sally Davies
Photographer))

I think people enjoy looking in other people's homes. I do. And in New York, people tend to be not quite so open about their homes. You know, you can't go by and look in people's windows. You think you're nutty? You can look in there and see somebody who's nuttier.

Life As It Is
((SOT))
((Patrick Q.F. Barr
Photojournalist, Street Golfer))

Oh, you’ve got to be kidding me. My ultimate goal is to be a historian. When I take a photograph, it’s about truth. What you see is what it is.

((Amelie Diamant-Holmstrom
Holocaust Survivor))

I am Amelie Diamant-Holmstrom. I am a Holocaust survivor. I was 13 when I was rescued to come to America.
((NATS/MUSIC))

I do too. I do too.
And then before you leave today, I’m going to….
Do you want to do the….
((Christina Heller
Metastage, CEO))

So here at Metastage, we use 106 cameras. We also have eight shotgun mics that circle the stage as well for 360 audio. And what that allows is just we are capturing someone from every possible angle and getting a fully 3D representation.

((Christina Heller
Metastage, CEO))

In the case of Amelie today, capturing 95-year-old Holocaust survivor talking about her memories and capturing her essence and life message, to preserve in the truest way to real life, for the generations to come.
((NATS/MUSIC))
Lights, camera, action.
((Amelie Diamant-Holmstrom
Holocaust Survivor))

The Germans came and they destroyed all good things. My father had his office. He had some beautiful paintings. And the Germans came and they took a knife and they cut up the Rembrandts in front of us. It was heartbreaking.
And 11 of my father’s sisters and brothers were dragged away to [the concentration camp] Dachau.
((Eric Holmstrom
Amelie’s Son))

They ended up having to leave Vienna and work their way toward Paris. So, they had basically to leave everything. And they didn’t have the food and all of these things. And there were times where she was telling me that they were just very hungry.
((Amelie Diamant-Holmstrom
Holocaust Survivor))

When we were hungry, I would push him by the jacket, and say: “Really, Papa. I am so hungry. I am so hungry.” And he would say, “Lylynca, let’s sing.” So, we started singing. We forgot we were so hungry.
((Eric Holmstrom
Amelie’s Son))

This project has been really interesting for me because, like I say, I wasn’t there. But somehow I can feel it. It’s almost, I don’t know how I feel it but I can, because she conveyed it in a way that I can see it, I can feel it, I can feel their hunger.

((Eric Holmstrom
Amelie’s Son))

Volumetric capture allows a person to walk up and even walk around and not only hear the story but when you can actually see a person from different dimensions, it makes them real.
((Courtesy ends))
((Eric Holmstrom
Amelie’s Son))

One of the applications is to
((Courtesy: Metastage))
have it set up in Holocaust museums as well as museums beyond that.
((Courtesy ends))
((Christina Heller, Metastage, CEO))

It’s important to archive and digitize these important public figures, subject matter experts and people like Amelie who have important stories to tell so that future generations can feel how it was like to have a conversation with them and can learn from that.
((NATS: Amelie sings Edith Piaf’s “La Vie En Rose” in French))
When he takes me into his arms
He speaks to me softly

I see life as if it were rose-tinted
He has entered into my heart
A bit of happiness that I know the cause of
It's only him for me and me for him, for life
He told me, he swore to me, for life

((Courtesy: Metastage))
As soon as I notice him
I feel inside me
My heart beating

((Courtesy ends))
((Original French Lyrics (as sung)):
Quand il me prend dans ses bras,
Il me parle tout bas,
Je vois la vie en rose.
Il est entré dans mon cœur,
Une part de bonheur
Dont je connais la cause.
C’est lui pour moi,
Moi pour lui dans la vie,
Il me l’a dit, l’a juré pour la vie.
Et dès que je l’aperçois,
Alors je sens en moi
Mon cœur qui bat.

((NATS: Applause))
Beautiful. You did it. You did it.

When I take a selfie, I feel like I’m exploring the world. I’m famous. I’m excited. I’m happy. I’m in a new atmosphere.

((Waynette

When I take a selfie, I see me. I see the real me.
((NATS: Music))
((Miajha
Selfie WRLD Visitor))

When I take a selfie, it makes me feel pretty. Literally, that’s it. I just feel pretty when I take one.
((Javonne
Selfie WRLD Visitor))

I do like taking pictures. I don’t take them that often though. But I like it.
((NATS))
((Nytasha Garland
Owner, Selfie WRLD))
I will confess, I’m not a huge content creator myself personally but I do understand the power and the influence that social media, photography, videography has in our society. It’s a cool way to brand yourself, to communicate with others, to connect communities with one another and it’s something that anyone can use.
((NATS))
((Tatiana
Selfie WRLD Visitor))

It’s space.
((Tatiana
Selfie WRLD Visitor
))
So, I enjoy taking selfies mainly because, I don’t know, it’s a way to document kind of day to day and it’s a way to like share with my friends where I’m going, what I’m doing, what my style’s like, my outfits for the day. I feel like it’s a general expression of like what my mood’s at day to day.
((Text on screen))
Do guys take selfies?
((Kyle
Selfie WRLD Visitor))

No, not really. I’m not really a social media person that much. I’m mostly…like you see this whole generation, like they’re always on their phones. I’m not. I like to go out and venture a lot.
((Javonne and Shanae
Selfie WRLD Visitors))

Men take selfies, a lot of them. They are full of themselves too.
((NATS))
((Dominic
Selfie WRLD Visitor))

Hmm, I guess as a guy, I see all the girls posting pictures and I’m like…well, they look like they are having a fun time and they look great. And I just want people to think…hey, he looks great too and that’s just what I take a picture for, you know.
((NATS))
((Michael
Selfie WRLD Visitor))

I guess it kind of depends really. I’d say, just kind of in general, the type of stuff that you’d see kind of on like Instagram or what not, that’s probably more girl-focused but I don’t know. I think a lot of guys kind of, you know like, you know, they take a lot photos after the gym or something. They share it in a group chat with their friends like yeah, I’m looking kind of good. That type of thing you know. I don’t really take a whole lot by myself but when I’m with friends and stuff, kind of us just goofing off, I like to do that.
((NATS))
((Angela
Selfie WRLD Visitor))

So, taking selfies has evolved. I can recall going into photo booths where you just get a couple of shots, a few seconds and you had to go. And it was kind of awkward because in that moment, you were thinking of how you were going to smile or pose. But with selfies, when you are ready, you are able to shoot shot and then you’re able to capture the moment and I love that. So, I think we’re going places with the selfies.
((Text on screen))
Is it ‘self-ie’ absorbing?
((Nytasha Garland
Owner, Selfie WRLD))
We do have folks who ask if we are promoting narcissism. But I laugh at that because this is really a venue where people can come in and be themselves and express themselves through photography and videography. The intent behind it is very individualized. It’s all in how you utilize it.
((NATS: Music))
((Miajha
Selfie WRLD Visitor))

I like to share my selfies on Instagram, Twitter, my friends.
((Camillo
Selfie WRLD Visitor))

You’re in space. You can’t breathe. Can you breathe? You can’t breathe. Oh, no.
((Camillo
Selfie WRLD Visitor))

If I take a selfie at my home, people are going to know I’m at my home. So, I can be in 100 different places at once and this place is what it does. I just take a regular photo and it’s just, oh just another day, another casual day. But I’m going here and I’m adventurous at the circus on a pole, so.
((Text on screen))
Will it last?
((Nytasha Garland
Owner, Selfie WRLD))
I believe that with the development of technology and the way that we communicate and relate to one another, it is not a fad. I think it is a shift in the way that we communicate with one another as a society. It’s also a form of art, if you use it in that way.
((NATS: Music))
((Shayla, Javonne, Shanae
Selfie WRLD Visitors))

I take pictures of everybody and everything.
Pictures last a lifetime.
Yeah, exactly.
((NATS: Camera))
((Valencia
Selfie WRLD Visitor))

Selfies give us an opportunity to let other people see us as who we are.
((NATS: Music))
((Waynette
Selfie WRLD Visitor))

And I agree with Valencia. Selfies let you know who you actually are because we can’t really see ourselves. We feel ourselves but we don’t see ourselves.
((NATS))
((Michael
Selfie WRLD Visitor))

The technology that we use might change but the core essence of it, the selfie, the picture, that’s going to stay with us pretty much forever. In fact, selfies existed before we had cameras, you know, so.
((NATS: Camera))
((Nytasha Garland

Owner, Selfie WRLD))
So, with all of that being said, Selfie WRLD and selfies and selfie-taking is here to stay. Cheers to that. Oh, yeah.

((Sally Davies
Photographer))

I had very recently placed
((Courtesy: Sally Davies))
a big amount of photos
((Courtesy ends))
at the Museum of the City of New York on my outside, ((Courtesy: Sally Davies))
my street photography. I thought that was it.
((Courtesy ends))
I'm good now. And then one night, I woke up at four o’clock in the morning. Oh my God! In a hundred years, people will go to the museum and they will see all those photos of “Whoa, look what New York used to look like”, and
((Courtesy: Sally Davies))
no idea who lived inside those buildings. And I thought, “That's my next project.
((Courtesy ends))
I'm going to go back. I'm going to go into people's homes and I'm going to take their pictures with all their stuff.” And I started in
((Courtesy: Sally Davies))
about three days.
((Courtesy ends))
I think people enjoy looking in other people's homes. I do. And in New York, people tend to be not quite so open about their homes. You know, you can't go by and look in people's windows. You think you're nutty? You can look in there and see somebody who's nuttier. You think you have a lot of stuff? You can look in there, see somebody who has more stuff than you do.
So, I tried with a few friends first. And I thought, “I'll go on social media. I'll put a call out anybody who wants to, you know, to do this.” But I never had to. Everybody had another friend, had another friend. And before you know it, people were sending me an email with a picture of their house, saying, “Could you please put me in the book?” you know.
((Sally Davies
Photographer))

07I got my thing, my bag, and I would go to people's house, and they would open the door and I'd be like, “Hi, let me look.” And I would walk in their house and just quickly. Some places, I was only for five minutes or 10 minutes.
((Courtesy: Sally Davies))
There's a woman in
((Courtesy ends))
the book named Marina.
((Courtesy: Sally Davies))
And she answered the door in this 50s Dior, vintage beautiful gown. And we walked into the living room, she had painted the whole living room pink to match the gown. That's why we have that beautiful photo of her.
((Courtesy ends))
Also, the woman, Suzanne Mallouk,
((Courtesy: Sally Davies))
in the book. She's the woman that was Jean-Michel Basquiat's girlfriend many years ago. She answered the door like that with the turban and this beautiful thing and it made the book very varied, right? I mean, some people were like that
((Courtesy ends))
and other people were just like me. Nothing. This is how I am.
((Courtesy: Sally Davies))
I shot about 125 people.
((Courtesy ends))
Bun came with me to every photograph and that was good. Maybe at the beginning, I was afraid, a little nervous. And I had my friends were going, “Are you out of your mind? You're going by yourself to this”, you know. But after a few, I just wasn't nervous anymore. I thought, “This is not going to go bad.”
((Sally Davies
Photographer))

When I moved here in ’83, this neighborhood was all tenements.
((Courtesy: Sally Davies))
The first apartment I ever had, had a bathtub in the kitchen. And when you tell people that, they're like, “What?” You’re like, “Yeah, that was a thing.” And they were all exactly the same. It was the tenement buildings, right?
((Courtesy ends))
I discovered that you can never tell, ever, what is inside from what is outside. I would, you know, meet periodically famous people or people that were very wealthy. And, you know, you'd go to their place and the outside of the building would always, not always, but often be a complete dump.
((Courtesy: Sally Davies))
Then, you'd walk into these, like fantastic apartments.
They don't want their building to look nice, especially in those days. You’d be robbed. You’d have people breaking in, you know. So, that was just fine.
((Courtesy ends))
One lady in the book, she had tiny, little room. Like her and her husband got this little
((Courtesy: Sally Davies))
apartment, Upper West Side, years ago, when they first were starting up. And over the years, they had some children and they needed more space. They looked around. They couldn't get a bigger apartment. So, apartment came up for rent in their building. They took it and they raised their family in two apartments. So, the kids spent their whole life in their pajamas going up and down. Like, they slept up and then living room was downstairs. How funny is that?
This has all happened so quickly that we haven't really caught up. And I haven't, mentally, with the fact that we're already doing another printing and the first printing just came out three days ago and it sold out. I don't even know what to think about that.
So, the timing was really like God arranged this, I think. It would not have been made. Because people will not, would never let me back in their house now. Not the way things still are. I don't know the word coincidence. It might appear to be a coincidence of the timing of all of this. I don't believe in coincidences. I don't know that things will ever be what they were before this. The project is sort of a love letter to what now is a time gone past.

((NATS: Patrick Q.F. Barr))
Come on baby. Ah, shucks. Real men ride pink bikes, baby. ((Patrick Q.F. Barr
Photojournalist, Street Golfer))
My name is Patrick Q.F. Barr. I'm a photographer, photojournalist, restaurant worker and a urban golfer. I play golf with milk containers.
((NATS: Patrick Q.F. Barr))
I don't know if you go through lights but I do. I don't play golf every day but I can play it whenever I like, which is the beauty of it.
((Courtesy: Patrick Q.F. Barr))
As a photographer, what makes me stop and press the button right away is, some shots are just, you know, it's situational. So, it's just a feeling. It's instantaneous when you just see something happening and you say, “Well, I got to capture that for the record, you know.”
Some shots are like that and some shots you have to really like think about.
((Courtesy: Patrick Q.F. Barr))
Are they going to be important in 20, 30 years, you know?
((NATS: Patrick Q.F. Barr))
He owes me 20 dollars. That's the one that owes me 20 dollars. I remember seeing that car on McDougal. Couldn't miss it with that damn paint job.
Are there any moments or photographs or situations that have captured my interest?
((Patrick Q.F. Barr
Photojournalist, Street Golfer))
Well, wow. One of them is Sebastiamo, Sebastiamo Monte. He was a restaurant owner on Bleecker Street, 281 Bleecker Street, Osteria Fiorentina.
((Courtesy: Patrick Q.F. Barr))
((Patrick Q.F. Barr
Photojournalist, Street Golfer))

He used to stand out there all the time, you know, just standing out there like, you know, just casually looking at people, trying to pull into the restaurant. At night, I used to walk by him all the time. But then, when I got serious about the pictures again, I walked by him one day and I said, “You know what man, you're beautiful. And I got to get a picture of you one day.” And then I walked away. A couple of weeks later, I saw him standing out there again and I just said, you know, “Don't move.” As many times as I walked by him before, when I saw him standing out there again, it got me excited.
((Courtesy: Patrick Q.F. Barr))
((Patrick Q.F. Barr

Another situation was when, when I was walking by the park and I saw a fireball from the side of my eye and I said, “Wow. Okay, I know who that is.”
((Courtesy: Patrick Q.F. Barr))
((Patrick Q.F. Barr

And I haven't seen him in years. Tony “The Fireman” Vera. And he's been entertaining people in the park for years. So, when I saw that fireball from the side of my eye, which I haven't seen in years, I said, “Wow, got to get that, got to get him.” And you know, I was really lucky to get him because that was his last week of performing in New York and he retired after that.

((Patrick Q.F. Barr

I got started playing golf when I found a golf club in a garbage can
((Courtesy: Patrick Q.F. Barr))
and I had a tennis ball on me. So, I started hitting the tennis ball against a building that was under construction but it didn't come back down after a while because there was so much scaffolding, and, you know, it just stopped and got stuck someplace, but I didn't want to stop. I like the feeling of swinging. And so I said, “Okay, I've got to find something else to hit.” So, I got some milk containers and I just started hitting them. And you know, it's better than hitting a ball because they don't roll away.

((Patrick Q.F. Barr
