The First Photograph
2024
Overview
The story of the artist's father, who fled to Hong Kong in the 1970s. The film consists of a series of overlays and montages, initially taken from a documentary photograph of her father and then combined with Google Maps to trace his escape route from China. The artist also used old negatives that she found at home, including overexposed, torn, faded, translucent, etc. The film is an attempt to capture the unseen and unnoticed. It is an attempt to find and restore the unrecorded family history in her father's fading memories and to reflect on the larger historical narrative through the life experience of the individual.
