The Dutch photographer Bertien van Manen created her Give Me Your Image series while travelling across Europe between 2002 and 2005. At each stage of her journey, while staying with friends or strangers she photographed their souvenir snapshots displayed amid everyday objects. These small pictures, as commonplace as they are moving, plunged the artist into the heart and soul of each home.
With Give Me Your Image, van Manen creates a clever mise en abyme that evokes the time when L’Appartement – Espace Images Vevey was a family home.
