我/ME is a nomadic film photography project. In this project, I use color film as a medium, combining my Chinese cultural background to express my subtle observations and reinterpretations of the hidden connections between existences in nature as an independent individual. All the photographs in this project were taken at various locations, including Queensland, Victoria, and Tasmania. However, in the photographs, regional specificity is blurred. Scenes from different locations are reconnected by me after I have identified their veiled connections.

In this nomadic photographic project, photography is not merely a form of documentation but an ongoing inquiry into the relationship between ‘self’ and ‘other.’ I strive to create a sense of rootlessness in the images, prompting viewers to lose their reliance on specific locations and instead turn their attention to contemplating the essence of ‘existence.’ The trees, waves, rocks, and rainbow in the frames are no longer mere natural phenomena but symbols resonating with my inner memories.

This nomadic approach to imagery allows me to use photography as a carrier connecting personal experience with the environmental surroundings. Here, photographs are not mere freeze-frames of a moment but become fluid channels linking memory and reality, the individual and nature, culture and geography. Through this series of images, I aim to explore how I’ reconstitute self-identity on foreign soil and seek a transcendent, boundary-crossing intimacy amidst all things.
