About the Book
Taking the form of a scientific expedition, Hong Kong artist Stephen Lam’s second photobook explores the slippery nature of memory and imagination through the careful juxtaposition of images from various sources and context.
Old family photo of the artist’s mother, images taken during the umbrella movement, and abstract rendition of everyday objects are put side by side to narrate a tale of a spiritual journey. Two articles on the theme of ‘Mother’ and ‘Ship’ by the artist are sandwiched between images.
