Just been reading Granta magazine and came across an article by Tea Obreht about  'Un-Possible Retour"(which I happened to see last month at the Saachi Gallery); I love this project, by photographer Clarisse d'Arcimoles; she used her old family snap shots and portraits and rephotographed the same family members years later with the same details, expressions and gestures.
Here's a link to information about it.

This one is called Daddy (Grand-father).  Poignant in a more obvious way than the others.  But they are all startlingly moving, whether you believe we are an ever changing mass of ever changing parts - or that we always remain intrinsically the same person. (Don't know what I believe but I prefer the latter.)
