Family Stranger
여러분이 가장 믿었던 사람이 감옥에 갇히면 어떨까요? 가까운 사람이 심각한 범죄를 저지를 것이라고 상상하기는 어렵습니다. 이 책은 수감자 가족의 사진 시리즈입니다.
범죄를 일으킨 사람과 마찬가지로 그 가족들도 종종 사회적으로는 유죄 판결을 받고 사회로부터 격리되기도 합니다. 사진 작가 Wiosna van Bon는 어려움에 직면한 가족이 그 상황을 어떻게 다루는지를 다양한 방식을 통해 보여줍니다.
What if the person you trusted the most ends up in prison? It is hard to imagine that a close relative would commit a serious crime. Family Stranger is a photographic series of the families of detainees, who are suddenly confronted with ethical questions that put their relationships under great pressure. In a long process of re-evaluation, the family members will have to assess their relationship with their criminal relative and decide whether or not they can live with what they have done. While the lives of these families continue, the detainee enters a kind of time capsule, being imprisoned.
The purpose of Family Stranger is to create awareness for the struggles that these families endure. Just like the criminal relative, the family is often socially convicted as well, with a risk of (further) seclusion from society. Therefore, both adults and children experience the topic as taboo, or at least find it very difficult to talk about. With this book, Wiosna van Bon (NL) shows the various ways in which families deal with the situation.
Wiosna van Bon (1922)
네덜란드 헤이그 왕립 예술 아카데미에서 다큐멘터리 사진 작가로 졸업했습니다. 사회주의적이고 활동적인 이상을 중심으로 자랐으며 그것이 그녀의 작업에 큰 영향을 미쳤습니다. 개인, 분리된 집단, 불평등에 대해 관심을 가지고 작업하고 있으며 그녀의 사진에서는 리듬, 은유 및 상징성이 잘 나타납니다.
Wiosna van Bon (1992) is a half Polish, half Dutch photographer who graduated as a documentary photographer at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (NL). She grew up around socialistic and activist ideals and this has influenced her work. The human being is always in the centre of her projects. She is interested in the lonely individual, separated groups and inequality – specifically in those who, despite everything, preserve. Van Bon treats her photos like poems in which rhythm, metaphors and symbolism are key factors. Currently, she is working as a freelance photographer, both on self-initiated and commissioned projects.
