THE NOTION OF FAMILY - LaToya Ruby Frazier
The Notion of Family is the first monograph by LaToya Frazier (1982-), American artist and professor of photography at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In this book, she examines the notion of kinship, not as an irrefutable fact, but as a concept. All the photos in this book were taken in Braddock, Pennsylvania. Questions of class and race are at the heart of the black-and-white photographs in the collection, which is organized as a kind of family album: intimate, collaborative portraits of Frazier and her mother in mirrors and on beds are presented alongside scenes of collapsing buildings, vacant lots and closed-down stores.
