Juxtaposing action, object and image Tallentire makes works that use a range of media such as text, video performance, assemblage, photography and film. Her recent practice employs concepts such as itinerancy and residue in order to negotiate a politics of space and time primarily in relation to urban environments.Anne Tallentire was born in Co Armagh and has lived and worked in London since 1984.
