Kate Carpenter
Kaleidoscope
How do you tell a story about dementia when family members are in the thick of it? Do you attempt a linear narrative, to pin things down before they are forgotten? Do you enter the world of forgetting itself? Or do you play with both ideas together? Kaleidoscope intertwines three strands of images to create a chronological story, but with glitches. One strand consists of rephotographed archival images - my mother is a former photographer. Another depicts life in the house she shares with my aunt; each sister battling her own form of Alzheimer’s (my mother’s, devastatingly, is visual). Lastly, tangled, distorted roots and branches express ideas and fears about the twin legacies of dementia and photography in my family.
