In “Have Forgotten No.5” it appears that Chan has taped up her source image in order to provide greater emphasis to the pattern of criss-crossing bamboo poles. The image is thus both simultaneously found and fabricated.
“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.
