How Will I Remember (ver.2)

Ming Liew


13 July 2023–05 August 2023

How Will I Remember (ver.2) explores immigrant identity in relation to the production of images. Utilising techniques and lenses of essay film and photography, the work employs a methodology of auto-ethnography augmented with critical realism to create a series of fragmented narratives that oscillate between fact and fiction, past and present, personal and social.

By situating the pivotal moments of my lived experience within Australian and Chinese sociocultural contexts, this project aims to cultivate fresh insights into the migrant experience in contemporary Australia, and foster a greater understanding that transcends linguistic, cultural, and social barriers.
