Photography exhibition “AND” featuring works by Latvian photographer Reinis Hofmanis will be exhibited from 20th July in Latvian Museum of Photography.
Despite the fact that over time different practices and rituals have evolved inheriting and fusing traditions hundreds of years old, it is quite common to see the pagantistic being opposed to the Christian in the modern world. By trying to explain ways that constitute the human spiritual reality one often ends up with clashing categories. Meanwhile, they co-exist side by side in the everyday life just like the ancient worshiping grounds that have remained nearby churches or the pagan symbols in the repertoire of the national folk song festival. Over time, some traditions tend to lose their original meanings and gain novel content and substance.

From the 11th of February the wedding photos are displayed at the Latvian Photography Museum. Taking photos at weddings is old as photography itself. In the beginning those were images taken in a photo salon – a bride and a groom alone, or together with their closest guests. After a time, photographers got invited to almost every wedding. When a photographer came to a wedding, pictures were taken inside the house or in the courtyard. Taking a group picture of all the guests became a tradition. The ceremony of the wedding was also photographed. These kinds of pictures are in the Strenču collection as well. In 2004, Latvian Photography Museum acquired a collection of 13 000 photo-plates from the photo studio of Strenči, with the support of the “Latio” real estate company. The collection spans the period from 1909 until the 1950's. |
