Concluding March 2024
I liked that the photo is “eaten away” by humidity/ poor storage
and that the photo stuck together
Video: Two old photos stuck together due to humidity, a pair of hand is carefully separating the photos, rotating and peel gently on each side. The sound is like peeling sticky thing off a surface. Finally the photos are separated with minimum damage.
I browsed through old family photos and picked out those that seems interesting to me and mapped them as follows:-
All images and video are courtesy of artist.
thinking about
我在我妈妈生我的年纪 (I’m at the age where my mom gave birth to me)
“ Talking about mom in relation to myself?
photographic property?
womanhood & my practice?
understand my younger self?
modesty? shame? ”
“ [projection mapping] mask texture onto her to hide identity
focus on video/ audio of interview mom
adobe after effects for short video ”
“ mother // me
daughter-in-law // daughter
working housewife // artist
no control of picture // in control of picture
masking // take the mask off “
{ 我竟然在我妈妈生我的年纪 (I’m at the age where my mom gave birth to me) }
why is this shocking to me?
为什么现在是一回事？why the sudden realization?
难道是因为我吗？(Is it because of “I“?） I’m so self centered and egoistic.
“ 祝你找到现今33岁的你和妈妈当年33岁的连接 ”
(wish you find the connection between the 33 years old you now and your mother then)
