Family Portrait with a Cut-Out, ca. 1950er-Jahre
MediumGelatin silver print
Sheet dimensions13,8 × 9 cm
About the workA snip with scissors, a tear or a bit of glue: even after a photo has been taken, the community depicted in it remains a matter of negotiation. Altered portraits like this one testify to the need to remove people from a picture. It is unknown who took and edited the photo and what dramatic or bizarre stories lie behind it. One thing is clear, however: every tinkering with the photographic community leaves traces and changes the its narrative and memory.
