Don't be afraid let it show

Don't be afraid let it show — Plot

In the form of a digital stroll, this short uses images taken from the web to map Kinmen, the Taiwanese island and childhood home of artist Erica Sheu. Between reconstruction and digital composition, she retraces the island's landmarks and reflects on her relationship with her father against a backdrop of camouflage and military presence. A video diary emerges through these journeys, linking intergenerational memory, historical past, and anecdotes. Punctuated by a certain irony, don't be afraid let it show (true colors) captures the digital aesthetic, that of the poor image, to critically articulate a gesture of reconstruction.
