Untitled (Family Slides 60s-70s)

Boxes of recently recovered Kodachrome, Ektachrome and Agfa photographic slides that were taken and acquired by my parents from the late 1960s-early 1970s are here material and beginning. The slides depict territorial, personal and formal photographic transitions - from Australia to Malaysia to Singapore, from life as a returning child to spouse to parent, student to professional, and from portraiture to landscape to architectural documentation. Depicting these trajectories during a period of nation building, post-independence in Singapore and Malaysia, they parallel wider constellations of migration and displacement through education, nationhood, and racial/economic considerations in Malaysia and Singapore.
