European Portrait Photography since 1990

Ever since the invention of photography portraits have become commonplace. In the 1990s photographers rediscovered the portraiture genre. Since the fall of the Wall they have used photography to question the identity and place of the individual in the digitalised and globalised world. What do the face, pose, clothing and backdrop tell us about the person portrayed? FACES NOW exhibits the works of 31 renowned European photographers, including the likes of Tina Barney, Anton Corbijn and Stephan Vanfleteren.
