(SPOT.ph) If you’re one of those kids whose every move was documented through photographs, you probably have separate photo albums for your baptism, first birthday, first step, seventh birthday, kindergarten graduation, grade school graduation, a field demo during intramurals, and maybe even prom photos that you hate by now. It’s more fun if these are printed photos in actual albums now stashed away at your parent’s house. Whether you like it or not, these images document your life—starting from the moment you were born (plus points if your dad was able to sneak a camera into the delivery room).
For artist MM Yu, photographs tell a narrative that can be as short as a day in the city or as grandiose as the whole landscape of local contemporary art—"a small glimpse of the Philippine art context in a primarily visual format," she says in an interview with SPOT.ph about her upcoming piece for Art Fair Philippines 2019.
