Family photo 1991-1999

The film unfolds the past and present of the Liu family through a series of family photos, slicing the vertical space of the Liu family with these photos, like peeling an onion. Through the use of a three-part substitution method, it showcases the daily trivialities of the Liu family. The entire film is like a thick book, being turned page by page and remembered frame by frame. The "family photos" of the Liu family unveil those little-known stories, history and the "scenery" in the rural photo studios under the background of that era. Following my lengthy writing, it marks the years horizontally. The family photos are the title page of this book. I attempt to carve out a small path from among several photos and go upstream to verify my family, including everyone in it, including myself. "Family Photos 1991-1999" is merely the beginning of the creation, just like the first chapter of a book I have just seen.
