Who am I?
Which part of me is me?
As I maneuver through the images of
memories,
I am forming my own memories.
The Chinese goddesses and the temples are
part of my life,
And yet Mary, Jesus and the cross are part
of my identity too.
As I move, I see colors and colorless,
As I move, I see colors and colorless,
I see memories captured, memories forming,
And memories fading…
I turn,
Take a glance at the gallery.
I see visitors frantically trying to retain
their memories
By searching through the many images
For the one they can bring home.
And I too, bring back one
Of me,
Of who I am.
"Fade… is an installation of a thousand iPhone
images, representing the intimate, personal memories of photographer Tan
Ngiap Heng. The images are hung in space like a cloud, like the
memories suspended in our heads. Audience members are encouraged to take
away and keep images that they like for themselves. This process of the
installation disappearing is a meditation on how we lose our memories
as we age."
