This year my grandmother will be 90 the plan in some of the family are going to go over to New Zealand to give her a party. Why has she lives so long?? was it all the husbands?? all the travelling? getting married during the war?? Who knows but Susie Rea has linked up with her mothers research in Europe as to why people live long when others donts . The Research took place across Europe and Susie her duaghter a professional photographer decided to put together an exhibition and a book based on images of some of the people who took part of the research. The portraits are gentle and loving. Taking a view on someone in a stage of their life when they are coming -somewhere towards the end. As a recently book described it.
Dancing came in strong as a reason to keep going on strong and you can see with the care and attention and respect to the Exhibition itself is a major achievement to put together a loving extension to her mothers research. With all the interest in ageing, but focus on youth it's an exhibition that should travel.
