The construction of the other

With Diane Arbus, Dirk Braeckman, Eadweard Muybridge, Gaudenzio Marconi, Irving Penn, Marc Trivier, August Sander, Weegee en vele andere. A photographic portrait is never simply an objective image of a person or a group: it is something constructed by the photographer. Framing, focus, camera angle, contrast, what is included and what is left out - all depend on the decisions and the social and cultural background of the photographer. The point is made by a selection of 70 portraits, from the 19th century to the present day.
