Family Stuff
I have been doing long-term project “Family Stuff” for 20 years and created 140 photographs. I asked people to bring their belongings out and display in front of house, make family portrait with their belongings together. I create the “documentary” but it is not the scenes that you can directly observe from life. With my interruption and creation of the vision, audience can directly look into the photographs that record the family/person, the culture, the characteristics, the memories, the changing of society, the environment, and the era.
I am now living in USA and I feel the diversity of the community. I am looking into photographing American’s belongings. USA is migrate country, so immigrant is one important point to look at. I am also looking into some unique people here and would like to show the diversification.

“The theme is intriguing as it is not just a portraiture but also a documentary reflecting the lives of the people in today’s society. The use of GFX will also be needed with this project to depict the little details from corner to corner.”
