Sarah Francis is a photographer who works with the ideas of reality and representation, fascinated with the uncanny duality of photography. Gathering and relocating particular events that were once lost, forgotten or left behind, she intertwines traces of dreams with the spoken words of stories, all the while creating her own physical landscapes for her ideas to exist within.
When reinterpreting the facts and fictions of her past, Francis never fixes meaning to the impulsive performance, the pre-planned stages or the fragments of reality, all of which remain tangible within her work. At first glance the work conveys reality in the way that photography demands as a medium. Upon closer inspection, the secrets contained within the images unfold; playing with our perceptions,often creating an anxious tension between presence of representation and the absence of reality.
