The Anglo-French artist Alice Anderson is based in London, working from film to drawing and sculpture, playing with dislocation of time as children construct parallels worlds. Her work is a compulsive and obsessional production through which she explores and gives shape to her childhood memories.

For Anderson memory is the master of fiction and functions as her canvas. “Memory is a reconstruction of a reconstruction, which constantly changes.
Each memory is a distortion; therefore each memory is a creation in itself.
The philosopher Henri Bergson says that in order to talk about the past, we must dream.”

Since “My Mother” started in 1999 Anderson continues her probing into the psychological complexity of the family unit.

“Family is the footprint of all political organisations. It is an original form where we have many aspects of relationships and cultural traditions. In the mother-daughter relationship there aren’t two actors, but three. Power is the third element."
