Double the Culture: An Archival Project
2023

Challenge:
Use the internet to find archival footage and create a montage of some sort with a story behind it
Growing up in Taiwan but having the chance to visit California every year to visit family, I grew to have a fair bit of nostalgia for certain American media on TV such as commercials, songs, or even children’s entertainment
However, my nostalgia for what I watched that was either dubbed in Taiwan Chinese, or from Taiwanese Entertainment will forever be greater than what I saw during my summers in the US
I decided to grab footage from both countries and formed a montage containing my knowledge/nostalgia of both cultures
