About

Tina Barney's Family Ties immerses us in the intimacy of the photographer's family and friends, who, like her, came from the wealthy classes of the US East Coast. This book, which accompanies the first retrospective exhibition in Europe of this major figure in American photography, presents sixty works - the quintessence of her approach to the medium - produced from the late 1970s to the present day. Taken with a camera, these portraits of the American and European bourgeoisie - at the crossroads between family snapshots and photographic tableaux with meticulous composition - abound in micro-expressions and visual tensions, like so many gestures revealing a kind of derangement that lurks beneath the surface of the photographs.
