Herstory combines the image documents from old photographs, interviews which refer to these historical images, and photographs I took during the interviews. Above all, new photographic works are created by superimposed images, contrasting the inter-generational individuals, which is co-exist in history and present.
The work is also called Grandma's Visual Diary. Wilde once said, "Memory is a diary that everyone brings. " My grandma can't read or write, So her memories were always reserved as imagery ones. As an ordinary person and female, she was barely noticed in historical narratives. I hope to build a “Herstory” through images, in which not only female’s individual perspective, but also the delicate living trace would be presented.
