Curator’s notes
by
Damien Parer
Writer, director, co-producer Christopher Tuckfield successfully mixes archival footage, family photographs and dramatic re-creations to tell the biography of the octogenarians. Eastern sensibilities imbue the work as we are reminded that each ink stroke of calligrapher Huang Miaozi’s brush is compared to a breath.
