“Photographs are evidence, after all. Not that they are to be taken only at face value, nor that they mirror the real, nor even that a photograph offers any self-evident relationship between itself and what it shows. Simply, that a photograph can be material for interpretation - evidence, in that sense: to be solved, like a riddle; read and decoded, like clues left behind at the scene of a crime “.

Annette Kuhn – Family Secrets

Inspired by Kuhn’s idea of photographs as evidence, this exhibition comprised three distinct and related series of photographs. Scene of A Crime - an exploration through found family photographs of psychic and actual crime and past lives, Some Jo’burg Kids - a body of intimate photographs of Johannesburg children and teenagers, and Family Affairs - the re - presentation and reconfiguration of an earlier body of work.
