History and Memory: For Akiko and Takashige
History and Memory: For Akiko and Takashige is a 1991 documentary film by Rea Tajiri. In her film, Tajiri recalls her family's experience of the American internment of the Japanese during World War II.[2][3][4] History and Memory explores the story beyond the recorded history of the internment of the Japanese and Japanese Americans.[5] The film premiered at the 1991 Whitney Biennial exhibition, and has since been screened over 250 times.[1] The FilmTajiri presents collective history from mainstream mediums, whilst presenting her own history through the memory of real people.[6][7] To create her own personal history, Tajiri utilizes memory through her family members' experiences, along with photographs and 8mm footage.[5] She also uses mainstream mediums such as, newsreels, Hollywood feature film, and government propaganda.[8] Caryn James, wrote in The New York Times that "Tajiri approaches her subject like a poet. She weaves together images and allows them to enrich one another in skewed and subtle ways as their resonances slowly emerge."[citation needed] Awards
