| Summary: | Globalization and exposure to Western content have diluted many of our local
cultures and traditions. Local culture that has played a great part in building our
unique identity is gradually being lost with each new generation of Singaporeans.
Chinese/Teochew Opera reminds me of my late grandmother and how she always
emphasized the importance of such traditions and preserving culture through the
generations.
Two videos are presented in this project: one on culture and one on family.
For the video about culture, I took a video of myself in the process of learning
Chinese/Teochew Opera: from make up to singing lesson to performance. For the
video about family, I included my late grandmother as well as my father. These two
videos run on simultaneously with sound in Teochew dialect, with a still photographic
self-portrait in between. |
