Reflex #5 features edits of a found photograph, along with a quote from Bourdieu, giving a sociological perspective on the function of family photography:
“[…] solemnizing and immortalizing the high points of family life, […] reinforcing the integration of the family group by reasserting the sense that it has both of itself and of its unity. […] [T]he need for photographs and the need to take photographs […] are felt all the more intensely the more integrated the group and the more the group is captured at a moment of its highest integration.”
Bourdieu: Photography: A Middle-Brow Art, 1990, p. 19.
