Résumé : Intergenerational love, loss, trauma and joy are explored in a project mining the
ambiguities of memory, through thirty years of the artist photographing her family.
Ellis Ritter's first monograph The Model Family loops and deconstructs family photographs
of the past and her own contemporary images, in the process confronting head-on the
ambiguity of photography and its role in memory and identity. However, far from being
a space of nostalgia, The Model Family explores family dynamics with unflinching detail:
death, birth, conflict, divorce and sexuality mix matter-of-factly alongside conventional,
aspirational nuclear normality: pets, marriage, smiling faces, deep summer evenings.
In Ellis Ritter's circular conception of the family, imperceptibly oscillating between
the past and the present, the artist explores how the images of those closest to you
are also often the most slippery, sliding just out of reach. [source éditeur]
