Dalla metà del '600 i pittori fiamminghi hanno fatto della composizione scenica e dell'uso della luce le cifre stilistiche per emancipare l'ordinarietà delle scene ritratte e conferire a tali opere, invece, la sacralità del quotidiano. La fotografa americana Jessica Todd Harper ha fatto sua questa lezione e negli scatti raccolti in "Here" presenta scene tratte dalla propria vita familiare che enfatizzano la delicata eleganza dei piccoli gesti resi tanto più preziosi dall'esperienza della pandemia.

Photographer Jessica Todd Harper uses portraiture to explore the subtle tensions within daily family interactions and the complexity of human relationships. Her work is grounded in art historical tradition, but with a psychological undercurrent that marks its modernity. A silver medalist in the Prix de la Photographie in Paris (2014), she was an Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition prizewinner (2016) and selected that same year for the Taylor Wessing Portrait competition at the National Portrait Gallery in London. Her work will be significantly represented in Kinship, opening at the Smithosonian's National Portrait Gallery in late 2022, and running until 2024. Harper has published two prize-winning books of photography, Interior Exposure(2008) and The Home Stage (2014), both published by Damiani.
