Henry VIII’s Wives features a fantastic photo gallery “Iconic Moments of the Twentieth Century”, where historic news photos were recreated with senior citizens from a home for the elderly in Glasgow.

The series of photographs entitled The Iconic Moments of the 20th Century emerged in the processual work with the pensioners in a home for the elderly in Glasgow emanates the same impression. A group of aged volunteers pose in their everyday outfits and in their daily environment (the vicinity of the Home) to re-enact the scenes from well-known newspaper photographs taken from history books and encyclopaedias. The images in question depict ‘historical moments’ that took place in their lifetime.
