SNAP. Dokumentar og portrett. Fotografier fra samlingen

Does documentary photography show a true picture of the world? Do portrait photographs capture a person's identity? This exhibition explores how photography has portrayed people from the 19th century to the present. The exhibition sheds light on three key periods in the documentary genre: the social documentaries of the 1880s, the street photography of the 1960s and the documentaries of everyday life of the 1990s. In the portrait genre, "SNAP" shows contemporary photography from the 1990s up to 2016.

The catalogue is lavishly illustrated with photographs from the exhibition.
