"Flesh & Blood: Photographers' Images of Their Own Families" focuses on the act of photographers capturing their own families, exploring the relationship between the personal and the documentary in photographic expression. Family, while the closest of us, is a complex web of emotions, memories, and conflicts. The photographs in this book openly reveal the tensions and ambiguities inherent in this intimacy. Relationships forged through blood ties and shared living contain not only affection but also distance and disconnection, and the photographs quietly, sometimes frankly, visualize these. While appearing as an extension of a personal photo album, the images simultaneously possess the power of documentation, evoking the viewer's own family experiences and memories. Set against the backdrop of the early 1990s, this book's structure questions the extent to which photography can delve into the personal realm and how photographers can accept the inescapable connection to their subjects. Its structure will serve as an important reference point for future family photography and self-documentary. Works by Harry Gruyaert, Manfred Willmann, Stephen Shore, Larry Sultan, Sally Mann, Tina Barney, and Seiichi Furuya are featured.
