To illuminate the current popularity of self-presentation and personal documentary on social media, we show photographs of interpersonal relationships. We take a close look at notable themes in the museum’s collection of documentary photography from the 1960s and the development of the portrait from the 1990s until today.
The exhibition contains some 100 photographs by around twenty Norwegian and international photographers.
