Louise Taylor
Sakura
Louise Taylor uses a photo archive to reconsider her father whom, she did not know for long, but whose death left a lasting impression. Colour slides, stored for 45 years amongst his belongings, portray a man engaged and captivated by the world. Stills from black and white Super8 film, however, reveal a more complex picture. In 1975, a year after returning from Japan, Taylor’s father ended his life. His archive, taken in Japan between 1972 and 1974, forms the foundation for Taylor's research. She attempts to reinterpret him through his photographic collection, weaving her own narrative through his body of work. The work is as sombre as it is poignant: a piece filled with intense feelings and delicately determined words.
