Description
Amanda Tetrault's poignant collection of photographs and poems explores her complex relationship with her father, who has struggled with schizophrenia. The book is a deeply personal and introspective work, featuring six years of sporadic meetings between Amanda and her father, as well as fragments of his poetry and photo booth pictures that span 27 years. Through these intimate images, Amanda seeks to understand the reality of her father's life, moving through the cafes and parks of Montreal, haunted by the streets and shadows. The photographs form a visual narrative thread, woven together with scraps of paper and napkins bearing verses and lines scrawled on them. This powerful and moving work offers a unique glimpse into the lives of those affected by mental illness, and the enduring bond between parent and child.
