Family Trilogy, co-curated by Paolo Woods and Kublaiklan alongside Marion Durand – Christopher Anderson’s partner – delves into family relationships from a deeply personal, autobiographical perspective, contrasting the photographer’s viewpoint with that of his closest relatives.

Working with images from Anderson’s earlier projects, Durand revisits their shared memories and reorganizes them, reshaping the story of their life together—constantly in dialogue with the photographic medium. This edition of the exhibition emphasizes dialogue: between the artist and the subjects of his photographs, between seeing and being seen, and between love and the act of documenting.

The exhibition is inspired by Christopher Anderson’s book trilogy:
SON – reflections on fatherhood
PIA – a lighthearted, playful exploration of the father–camera–daughter relationship
MARION – an intimate love letter that also closes the trilogy

Christopher Anderson (b. 1970, Canada) has published nine photography monographs and has worked with major publications, including The New York Times Magazine and The New Yorker, for more than twenty years.

Marion Durand (b. 1975, France) is photography director at Kometa magazine and a lecturer. She has previously worked as a photo editor for Bright Magazine, Matter, and Newsweek.

The Family Trilogy exhibition, co-curated by Paolo Woods and Kublaiklan with Marion Durand, partner of Christopher Anderson, was first presented at the international photography festival Cortona On The Move 2025. From April 22, 2026, it will be shown in Poland for the first time at the Fort Institute of Photography.
