Eleven photographers explore memory and kinship in new Belgian exhibition
A new exhibition in Belgium brings together eleven contemporary photographers to explore themes of memory and kinship. The show examines how family photography has evolved since the daguerreotype era, when Kodak's 1888 camera democratized image-making, turning individuals into archivists of domestic life. The exhibition questions whether family photos still only capture idealized happiness or can reveal deeper truths about relationships. The featured artists offer diverse perspectives on intimacy, belonging, and the passage of time through their work.
