Two wayward dandelion pickers
Tampopo is the Japanese for Dandelion and is also the name of a film in which the leading protagonist struggles to make her business thrive after the death of her husband. Roisin’s film partly takes this creative block theme into consideration, but within the environment of Rialto, Dublin 8, where the artist was living at the time. It is documentation of a changed landscape at a time when the dandelions were in full bloom.
The film embraces surreality with an experimental sound track.
