The Birthday Party

Sarah Baker


This is a recent art piece that took form as a birthday party at Sketch, photographed in the style seen in the free press. The Birthday Party is part of a series of photographic projects that involve documenting real events that are staged and reproduced as birthday party pictures, with the idea of archiving; as 'regular' birthday photos, assembled in photo albums and packed away on a shelf, all dated and organized.
