Re: is a photography installation that examines generational relationships by comparing archival materials and the artist's role as a curator. Inspired by my dad’s collection of film strips from his college years in the 1980s, I created a digital archive that I then curated into a family photo book. Through this process, I discovered that I had been curating my own archive digitally on Instagram since 2018.

Re:live
Carefully curated by subject matter, the photobook contains my dad’s perspective as an international student from Korea coming to America for the first time and studying in the South. My archive contains my perspective on my surroundings and aesthetic observations.
Re:view
Between these archives, similarities exist that were unintentional but happened by chance. The installation displays the comparisons.

Re:collect
The totality of both archives is redefined through curation. I curate the organization of my dad’s photos in the book. My dad curates my work through his thought process in his viewing. The screen displays my dad scrolling through my archive.
