Tacita Dean is an artist internationally known for her work in film. This book accompanies her first exhibition in the UK at Tate Britain, and is a survey of her work from the 1990s to the present. Dean's work aims to seek connections between history and present day, fact and fiction. Her starting point is a chance encounter of discovery. She pursues her investigation by piecing together evidence, which is then presented in a loosely woven, often inconclusive narrative.
