There are few things more torturous than posing for a family photo or being forced to trawl through a collection of them. However, Sophie Spencer Wood encourages us to lie back (and flash back) in a post-Freudian family retrospective that is far more fascinating than it is mind numbing.
Family: Photographers Photograph Their Families is a collection of almost 200 photographs by a wide range of photographers that consciously reflect on the emotions and experiences wrought and woven into the family unit. It considers the autobiographical nature of family photographs and why the hell any of us keep them. For those that want to remember why they are who they are, Family reveals a vision of our most personal and intimate ties.
