In the work Mine, Yours, Ours, the past, present, and future are compressed into photographs in which the artist’s introspective gaze merges with an exploration of the life stories of her family and wider circle. The project consists of eleven photo books, each of which offers a sensitive and multi-layered testimony to a person’s life path.

Anna Forgách’s self-reflective, biographical, and narrative works are rooted in logotherapy. The psychological movement, developed by psychiatrist Viktor Frankl, views life as a continuous search for meaning. Logotherapy, derived from the Greek logos (meaning), works primarily with language, which Forgách converts into the language of photography, inventing a sort of ‘image-formulation’. The photographs were created in close collaboration with the participants, who were not only subjects, but also co-creators. This mutual exploration was structured around the method of ‘guided autobiography’ – a self-awareness technique from logotherapy developed by psychiatrist Elisabeth Lukas, a student of Viktor Frankl.
