A Photographic Memory
How well can we know someone through the things they leave behind? Rachel Elizabeth Seed was only 18 months old when her mother, the world-travelling journalist Sheila Turner Seed, died suddenly. Thirty years later, after she discovers dozens of hours of audio interviews conducted by her mother, Seed hears her mother’s voice for the first time since she was a baby. Through these recordings, photographs, and films, Seed sets out to connect with her mother while unveiling an invaluable archive of conversations with the most renowned photographers of the 20th century, among them Henri Cartier-Bresson, Bruce Davidson, Lisette Model, and Gordon Parks.
