ARTMargins Online Reviews 'Exposed Memories: Family Pictures in Private and Collective Memory'
ARTMargins Online published a book review in September 2014 examining the 2010 publication 'Exposed Memories: Family Pictures in Private and Collective Memory.' Edited by Zsófia Bán and Hedvig Turai, this 193-page volume was released by the International Association of Art Critics, Hungarian Section in Budapest. The review, written by Katherine Hill Reischl of Princeton University, references Roland Barthes's 1982 work 'Camera Lucida' from Hill and Wang in New York. Barthes's reflections on photography, particularly his concept of the 'imperfect mediator' and the search for photography's essence, provide a critical framework. The publication explores the intersection of family photographs with both personal recollection and shared historical memory.
