Self

這件影像實驗是我碩士課程的第一份練習 ，主題是用地圖學去解釋自我的建構，因此我第一次嘗試去正視自身歷史。我曾以為自己對媒介考古學的興趣，只是來自對調查和八卦的痴迷。然而，回溯過去卻讓我發現了更深的家族根源：我的婆婆曾是一位擁有海量他人家庭檔案的黑白照片上色師。

透過她對圖像的手工重塑與我的調查衝動相結合，我試圖誠實地解構過去的自我節點。最後成品，我用摩爾紋去展示每次回望過去都會因為身位的不同而造成對記憶的印象差異。

日後，我希望用這種技術再說回憶。

This work marks the start of my postgraduate practice, born from mapping my own history. I used to think my interest in media archaeology came from a fixation on investigation and gossip. However, looking backward revealed a deeper family root: my grandmother was a black-and-white photo colourist.

By connecting her hands-on manipulation of photos with my own urge to investigate, I explore how we dissect the past self. In the final piece, I use Moiré patterns to show how every look at the past alters our memory depending on our perspective.

Moving forward, I intend to use this technique to continue exploring the nature of memory.
