Costică Acsinte was an official WWI photographer until 15th of June 1920. Born in the small village of Perieți in Romania, Acsinte was also a pilot during the war.
But his passion was photography and as soon as the war was over he opened a studio “Foto Splendid C. Acsinte” in Slobozia.
Australian artist Jane Long fell in love with Ascinte’s photographs and set about restoring, recoloring and transforming the images into beautiful prints from a forgotten past.
The series will be exhibited as part of the Ballarat International Foto Biennale from August 22nd. The BIFB is a month-long festival of contemporary Australian and international photography.
