Who is She? What is Macau?


2019-2020


In the summer of 2019, I returned to Macau from Beijing. I took some analog photos yet not finished my film.

After returning to Macau, I went on a solo trip and travelled to Brazil, the UK, and Germany. When I returned to Macau again, the outbreak of the epidemic started. I decided to shoot the analog roll again.

Using a double-exposure technique, the photos showed views of Macau before and after the COVID-19 outbreak. Overlapping the photos caused the visuals to be chaotic and distracting.

I sought recognition in these random and accidental images, but I kept having questions: who were those people? What was my hometown?
