La première monographie d'Ellis Ritter, The Model Family, déconstruit les photographies de famille du passé et ses propres images contemporaines, confrontant ainsi de manière frontale l'ambiguïté de la photographie et son rôle dans la mémoire et l'identité. Loin d'être un espace de nostalgie, The Model Family explore la dynamique familiale dans tous ses aspects : la mort, la naissance, les conflits, le divorce et la sexualité se mêlent de façon naturelle aux animaux de compagnie, aux mariages, aux visages souriants et aux longues soirées d'été.

Paperback. Zustand: Very good. 21 x 25cm very good paperback in which The Model Family loops and deconstructs family photographs of the past and her own contemporary images, in the process confronting head-on the ambiguity of photography and its role in memory and identity. However, far from being a space of nostalgia, The Model Family explores family dynamics with unflinching detail: death, birth, conflict, divorce and sexuality mix matter-of-factly alongside conventional, aspirational nuclear normality: pets, marriage, smiling faces, deep summer evenings. In Ellis Ritter s circular conception of the family, imperceptibly oscillating between the past and the present, the artist explores how the images of those closest to you are also often the most slippery, sliding just out of reach. Intergenerational love, loss, trauma and joy are explored in a project mining the ambiguities of memory, through thirty years of the artist photographing her family. Artikel-Nr. 31613
