THE NOTION OF FAMILY - LaToya Ruby Frazier

54,00 €
Out of print

*The Notion of Family* is the first monograph by LaToya Frazier (b. 1982), an American artist and professor of photography at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In this book, she explores the notion of kinship—not as an irrefutable fact, but as a concept. All the photographs in this book were taken in Braddock, Pennsylvania. Issues of class and race lie at the heart of the collection’s black-and-white photographs, which are organized like a family album: intimate, collaborative portraits of Frazier and her mother in mirrors and on beds are presented alongside scenes of crumbling buildings, vacant lots, and closed stores.
