Elmina Re‑Imagined

Reliving the Moment the Shutter Closed

About the Series

Elmina Re‑Imagined is developed with research support from Brand Elmina. Using generative AI, we animate the fleeting seconds after the camera shutter was first pressed, freeing from their stillness rare archival photographs that are difficult to find and harder still to place within today’s landscape. Each film reconnects a fragment of the past with the living Elmina we know now.
