In 2009 I filmed my first family portrait. In 2010, I repeated the family portrait. My family is asked to sit for as long as they can.

Kaja Silverman (1966) describes the formation of early body image as a “process of construction [that] must be endlessly repeated, since lacking any stable referent - it undergoes repeated disintegration and transformation” (Silverman 1996:13). In other words, subject formation is not a moment, it is a process of to-and-fro.
