THE EUROPEANS - Tina Barney
The naturalistic, almost documentary approach of
American artist Tina Barney (1945-) captivates with her
blend of candid photography and photographic tableaux
. Well-to-do families quickly
became a favorite subject for the artist, fascinated by
the aesthetics of ritual and repetition. The idea is
that these families, wherever they are, behave in
the same way. "The Europeans", published in 2005,
brings together 21 shots that reveal these moments
of intimacy, true to bourgeois life and captured during
journeys undertaken by the artist in Europe.
"What could be more fascinating to me than
continuing to look at how people in one
country relate to each other in relation to
people in another?"
