Dinu Li - Statement The Mother of All Journeys is the artist Dinu Li's exploration into the memories of his 80-year-old mother. Through a series of colour photographs, family snapshots and her narrations, a story of personal experiences is revealed. Over the course of his book, Li's photographs teases out fragmented moments in time, charting a journey spanning across Southern China, Hong Kong and Northern England. Since 2001, Li worked in collaboration with his mother, using each other's recollections of her memories as starting points. On their journeys, they have attempted to photograph the exact sites of her stories. Comparing the actual with figments of their imagination, they have discovered old haunts transformed beyond recognition, and yet bewitched to find some places unchanged by time. The Mother of All Journeys triggers a sense of repetition and nostalgia, invoking glimpses of the epochs we live through.
