A génese do projecto data de 2011, quando a Patrícia Almeida começou a recolher recortes de jornais europeus e norte-americanos. Pretendia compor um arquivo visual que reflectisse uma paisagem mediática marcada por uma série de grandes manifestações que abalaram o mundo, particularmente na sequência da Primavera Árabe e da crise económica e política que afectou alguns países europeus. O arquivo tornou-se gradualmente um objecto dinâmico que inspirou a fotógrafa a criar vários projectos que analisam e questionam a forma como os meios de comunicação social contemporâneos comunicam informação em imagens e palavras.

'My Life is Going to Change' foi publicado no âmbito das exposições "The New Social" do EPEA (European Photo Exhibition Award).

The genesis of the project dates from 2011, when Patrícia Almeida began collecting images and headlines from European and North American newspapers. She aimed at composing a visual archive that would reflect a media landscape marked by a series of large-scale demonstrations that shook the world, particularly in the wake of the Arab Spring and the heightened economic and political crisis that has affected some European countries. The archive gradually became a dynamic object that has inspired the photographer to create several projects, which analyse and question the way that the contemporary media communicate information in images and words.

'My Life is Going to Change' was published as part of "The New Social" exhibitions of the EPEA (European Photo Exhibition Award) initiative.
