The best way to understand another person is to look inside yourself first. But we can best understand ourselves in the mirror of others. This back-and-forth process is one of the underlying ideas of Anna Forgách’s project, which seeks the essence of images through a therapeutic approach to photography.
Past, present and future condensed into a photograph, where the artist’s own introspection is intertwined with an exploration of the life paths and stories of her family and those in her wider environment. Each of the eleven photobooks is a sensitive, enigmatic testimony to a person, including the artist, and to different chapters of his or her life.
