Exhibition Tour (in English) - “Hidden Mothers”
Kunsthall Trondheim
On Saturday, August 16, at 15:00 – 16:00 pm join us for a free guided tour of the “Hidden Mothers” exhibition! The tour will be held in English.
The exhibition Hidden Mothers examines a fascinating practice from the nineteenth century. Early cameras required subjects to remain completely motionless—sometimes for several minutes—to capture a clear image. Young children needed someone to hold them steady throughout these lengthy exposures. Since these handlers were not the focus of the portrait, they often attempted to camouflage themselves by draping their bodies in dark cloth or positioning themselves behind furniture. The result was eerie, ghost-like figures that have become known as "hidden mothers"—spectral presences appearing alongside the perfectly posed children.
