Since the invention of photography, the family has been a constant subject of photographic observation, both in private photo albums and in artistic series. The group exhibition FAMILY AFFAIRS: Family in Contemporary Photography, conceived by Ingo Taubhorn, Curator of the Haus der Photographie, examines the current status of this traditional genre. A transcontinental selection of artistic projects from the last decade reveals both the diversity of photographic approaches and the heterogeneity of family models and complex dynamics.The
