What is there to be forgotten?
How do you want to be remembered?
Who will remember you?

„Nomansland
“ is based on memory traces connected through time and space.

Wie-yi´s memories are deeply woven within her multi cultural backgrounds, which are rooted far back to China. Carrying different nationalities and heritages in her, China triggered her curiosity to begin her journey in search of her identity.

By reconstructing her fictional timeline, she goes back in time filling up blank spots with found photographs shot by her father and by herself, in order to remember and compose her family´s traces.

Through these elements of time, space and memories her works are collages of fragile layers. Faded fragments of postmemories imprinted on fictional landscapes create her very own meta-memories.

Each fictional landscapes are patterns of her journey, which are carefully stitched together.
