Family Constellations. Joanna Piotrowska’s “Frowst” Photo Book

Summary/Abstract: An analysis of Frowst by Joanna Piotrowska against the background of family photography in Poland and the conventions devised by it at the turn of the nineteenth century. The author analysed factors impacting ways of construing the convention of the family photograph and the mechanisms of producing family myths and shaping a certain depiction of the functioning of the family. By applying the conceptions of “stage” and “backstage” conceived by Erving Goffman the presented text distinguishes a new tendency in family photography, analysed upon the example of Piotrowska’s work.
