The 2024 exhibition will also host this year’s In Focus Photographer, Diana Markosian. Since 2015, the In Focus display has showcased new work by acclaimed photographers from around the world, including Hassan Hajjaj, Rinko Kawauchi and Pieter Hugo. This year, photographs by Diana Markosian from her series and new publication Father (Aperture, 2024) have been selected to be shown alongside works in the Taylor Wessing Photo Portrait Prize.

Father presents the artist's journey to another place and another time, where she makes an attempt to piece together an image of a familiar stranger—her long-lost father. The images, made over the course of a decade, are accompanied by prose which further articulates the photographer’s deeply personal story.
