Framing Bodies, Hasselblad Center 30.5-30.8 2015

A short film about the exhibition Framing Bodies at Hasselblad Center where 5 images from my series Pictures of a Family are shown.

Since the middle of the 19th century photography has been a tool for defining and controlling subjects, but also for confirming and visualising otherwise overlooked places and people. This is manifested in Framing Bodies – a selection of works from the Hasselblad Foundation collection. The exhibition features various photographic framings of the body in relation to four themes: surveillance, breaking norms, labour conditions and colonialism oppression.

Framing Bodies

From the 29th. of May Hasselblad Center in Gothenburg will show the exhibition Framing Bodies with works from their collection. The show addresses the disciplining, normative and identifying power of the photographic medium. Six images from my work Pictures of a Family will be included in the exhibition. The show will be on to the 30th. of August.
