What aspects of our own identity construction stem from the collective memory of the previous generation? And what kind of collective memory will we pass on to the next generation?The resulting 12 performance art pieces, centered around the theme of identity construction, resemble narrative fragments of minor history, reconstructed using the language of film imagery. As an archive, film aids in remembering society and offers a contemporary interpretation of history. Is it societal memory of the past or a historical narrative?

In March 2023, I initiated a youth co-creation project, aiming to explore the identity construction of the next generation. After three months of reading sessions, workshops, and hands-on activities, they ultimately manifested their personal growth experiences in the form of performance art. I, in turn, utilized the language of film to narrate the minor histories of these 12 young individuals.
