Looking Back: An Examination of Family Archives

With digital technology now dominating the film and photography industry, analog resources are becoming scarce. Simultaneously, memories preserved through personal family archives are in danger of deterioration. Time, heat and storage cause film to decay and memory of their contents fades with time as well. In Looking Back, the existence of my familial history is exhumed and examined while being digital preserved and collectively engaged by family members. Reflecting upon the massive accumulation of my family archives makes it seem as if there is no end to my family archives. However, as is expressed in Looking Back, the further I try and bring conclusive memories to the surface, the more impossible it proves to be able to do so.
