Recomposing Memories
Scrapbooking
This is an experimental book made of used waste paper from my old notebooks. The key concept is to utilise these used pieces of paper to produce a new scrapbook. Typically scrapbooks are blank and white, but I doubt it is necessary. By doing so, the notes I took turned out to be part of the features of pages, and I could still paste anything on them.
Words as Graphs
I take notes every day to record my thoughts and things to remember. During my days in Japan, I also took notes and accumulated several notebooks. I wonder what I can do to transform them into a piece of work and why couldn’t they be regarded as graphs.
Accumulating Mamories
I tore apart all these notebooks and randomly glued them together as new pieces of paper. Then I bound them together with some new form as a new scrapbook. The book itself turned out to be a new physical body of memories.
Collages as Part of Photos
I pasted all the documents, tickets, and anything to do with my life in Japan onto the pages in the book. Each page turned out to be a distinct image. By this, I guess each page can be regarded as a photo to stimulate me or any other viewers to imagine the scenes of my life in Japan.
