Description

This thesis project focuses on the making process of images that contain memories of the Sui Fai Factory Estate in Hong Kong. The industrial factory is facing demolition later this year which implies the disappearance of not only the trade itself but the loss of tenants and removal of manufacturing machinery. According to Aristotle “Memory is the imprint in us of things we felt; Forgetting is the decay of the imprint.” (The Art of Forgetting, Adrian Forty and Susanne Küchler) If material objects represent memory, their decay suggests oblivion. My printing machine is an experimental object that produces curated memory and establishes a sense of loss through material decay. Images are created which pay tribute to the memory of Sui Fai factory because it is one to remember so that we won’t forget.
