Fiona Tan: Gaaf

Dutch-based artist Fiona Tan (born 1966) excavates and restages a forgotten and uncatalogued archive of several thousand commercial negatives and photographs taken between 1952 and 1968 from the German Agfa photography company. Tan focuses on the image and the role of women as portrayed in these photographs, drawing attention to the ideal and reality of these formative decades in postwar Germany.
