Pia

“Pia” could be seen as a spiritual sequel to the book Son published in 2012. But this time it marks a new era and a search for hope in the reality of Trump/COVID19. This time, Anderson’s daughter Pia is the protagonist and muse, and the backdrop is the return of her French family to Paris (Anderson was naturalised French in 2018).

The images depict a father-daughter relationship as well as a photographer-subject collaboration, as Pia takes control of her character. The passage of time is accompanied by a certain melancholy, but also a statement of hope that guides the photographs.”
