Have Forgotten no.2
Photoetching
Curator
Jonathan Thomson
In “Have Forgotten No.2” it appears that Chan has manipulated an original photograph in order to white-out the sky and heighten other elements. The result is an image which at first glance appears to be a (possibly) vintage photograph but isn’t in oddly unsettling ways.
About
this Artwork
“Taxis over and over the mountain. The fact is drivers are busy with business. However, what I can see does not belong to here, not to now. I cannot ensure what actually happened at that time, but the scenes are in my mind indeed.” The series titled 'Have Forgotten' consists of 9 photo-etching prints, representing a cross-disciplinary approach that reflects upon the direct capturing of actuality through the medium of photography, followed by reworking the images through print-making. By editing the photographic images on the plate, a fusion of photography and drawing emerges.The cityscape may appear ordinary initially, but its inherent normality is intertwined with a profound emotional connection and memories of the city.The forgotten is never forgotten.
