Whether pasted into an album, framed or shared on social media, the family photograph simultaneously offers a private and public insight into the identity and past of its subject. Long considered a model for understanding individual identity, the idea of the family has increasingly formed the basis for exploring collective pasts and cultural memory. This title investigates how visual representations of the family reveal both personal and shared histories, evaluating the testimonial and social value of photography and film.
