100 words explanation

With my mother’s letter, I curated my life into a 30-second video. I tried to keep the final outcome personal to match my theme of reminiscing, memories, and written time. I think a letter is one of the most personal of all writings. Especially, the contents of hand-written letters are only shared within a writer and a recipient. So I used a part of my mother’s letter to edit the video as if she reminisced her kid’s life while writing it. This is not yet a complete version, and my final goal is to make up for the less legible part because the typing speed is too fast. To complete the video without an incomprehensible part, I will need to lengthen the video and use the full letter.

I chose to edit a video to curate and exhibit my 26 objects.

I’ve been getting feedback and opinions that my project is very personal and provides a glimpse of my life to the viewers. So I thought an old videotape-style video would be a great choice. This style of video will give the viewers a feeling as if they were looking into a camcorder that has been recording my life.

It is not opened to the public, but you can watch it if you have the link!

Previously, my objects were mostly hand-written words. But I replaced 13 of them with images that are closely related to those texts and that will help the viewers to understand the content!

Here’s the link to the pdfs of my publication and process (sketches) :
