"The Hidden Mother" is a collection of works by Linda Fregni Nagler, an artist born in Stockholm, Sweden, and currently based in Milan, Italy. For over 20 years, Nagler has been collecting old Anonymous photographs and performing installations based on them all over the world. I also released a work called "Hana to Yama" with a Japanese motif. This is a photo book published jointly by the National Art Center, Tokyo and the British publisher MACK. The main subject is a portrait of "Baby" taken in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Mainly Daguerreotype, Tin type, Albumen print, and even snaps by Brownie, but at that time it took a long time to shoot one shot, so naturally the baby can not keep still, that The presence of a mother to rest the baby was essential. Hold it with your hands from the side, turn to the back, and sometimes wear a black cloak. .. There was always a "mother" in the shadow of the baby portrait. Another world that can be seen by focusing on the preciousness of the existence of "woman" and "mother" and "mother". .. A masterpiece that makes you think about various backgrounds and matters of "photographs".
