The Exhibition Of Photo Book
The creative process of the imaginary series about the Future was an anxious one. With that behind me, I want to revisit the warmer “Childhood photos” theme from 2015. From the faded photos and memories of my childhood, I attempt to create a time travel to the past through clay and ceramics.
For this series, instead of childhood playthings, I created pottery pieces against familiar childhood backdrops such as classrooms and playgrounds. The character of a young girl is the thread to connect the pieces to create a linear story. In addition to my own photo books, I also poured through those of my friends’ in search of inspiration and the blissful memories of the past, and just like Cosmos Creation – Huashanding’s effort to preserve historic structures and to incorporate the past into its present design elements, I aim to weave our past into our present.
