This volume is a deconstruction of photographs of the author's own childhood. As an eight-year-old, the young Annette assembled her own family album containing portraits of herself and her mother taken by her father, a keen photographer. Combining photographic and pschoanalytic criticism with memory work, Kuhn undertakes a journey into her own childhood which is heartsearchingly honest, painfully so.

Annette Kuhn is the author of "Alien Zone and Women's Pictures" and editor of "The Woman's Companion to International Film".
