However, far from being a space of nostalgia, The Model Family explores family dynamics with unflinching detail: death, birth, conflict, divorce and sexuality mix matter-of-factly alongside conventional, aspirational nuclear normality: pets, marriage, smiling faces, deep summer evenings. In Ellis Ritter’s circular conception of the family, imperceptibly oscillating between the past and the present, the artist explores how the images of those closest to you are also often the most slippery, sliding just out of reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eText by Lisa Taddeo.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublished by Loose Joints\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eSoftcover, debossed OTA-bound sewn with tip-in and flaps\u003cbr\u003e172 pages\u003cbr\u003e200 x 250 mm\u003cbr\u003eISBN  9781912719334\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Loose Joints","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42872428036310,"sku":"TMFTER","price":48.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2538\/3478\/products\/Screenshot2022-04-27at12.58.51.png?v=1651060851","url":"https:\/\/www.thelibraryproject.ie\/no\/products\/the-model-family-tealia-ellis-ritter","provider":"The Library Project","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
