我呈现的摄影系列名为《爪哇，我的朋友》（”Javanese, mon ami”），这是一个使用过期的135毫米彩色胶片拍摄的系列人像照片，拍摄地点包括印度尼西亚的巴厘岛、科莫多岛和日惹，时间从2023年夏季到2024年。《爪哇，我的朋友》这组照片和人物看起来颗粒感强，曝光不足、不太清晰，这么做的目的是为了表达我的艺术主张——印度尼西亚与我有血缘关系，并且在我的家族遗产中占有一席之地，因为我的祖父母是印尼华裔。然而，直到现在我才前往并了解这个国家，这部分身份对我来说一直是神秘而陌生的。过去，我只从祖父母的口中听说过印尼。而这个系列将是一个持续的项目，我会在前往印尼其他城市旅行时拍摄更多人像，通过胶片摄影继续表达我对这部分未知自我的探索。
The ongoing photography series I submitted is called “Javanese, mon ami”, a series of portrait photos taken in Bali, Komodo Island, and Yogyakarta in Indonesia from the summer of 2023 to 2024, using expired 135mm color film.
The photos and people in this series appeared to be grainy, underexposed, and unclear, as to illustrate my artist’s statement that Indonesia is related to me by blood and in my family heritage since my grandparents are Indonesian Chinese, yet I found this part of myself mysterious and unfamiliar since I only traveled and knew the country until now. In the past, I only heard of Indonesia from the words of my grandparents. And this series will be an ongoing series as I took more portraiture while traveling to other cities in Indonesia, and continue expressing this unknown part of myself through film photography.
