"For the project The History of Another, I created a series of on-location slide projections in ancient Rome, specifically in order to be photographed. I projected images of individuals directly onto Roman archaeology and excavation sites. My intention was to create beautiful, ghostly, and evocative images which invite reflections and meditations on history, and which allow viewers to make up their own stories and meaning from each photograph."—Shimon Attie
