Photography is about light, but at its core it is about time: people and phenomena that have passed from this world remain fixed as images, and the family snapshot lives on long after those in it have gone. Emi Nakata lost her mother when she was a child and grew up in a home full of the possessions and mementos left behind; with these same objects she has made a deeply sensitive photobook in which one feels the hum of life in the shadow of a death. Incorporating her mother's clothing, her ageing father, their house and often herself, Yosuga traces the reverberations of personal loss and memory and, through her wit and sensitivity, shows the nature of life through photography. Her statement: the family had kept everything the mother left behind, but when the father retired they decided to let go, so she began to photograph the belongings. The pictures of mementos and of herself wearing her mother's clothes were taken by her; those of her in her mother's dress were taken by her father. They show what her body and mind lean on: yosuga, a thing to hold on to.
