Ramona Jingru Wang

In this installation piece, The Family Portrait Project is about the fragmentation of memory, the recollection, and the (re)imagining of a reality through photography. Family portraits often hold strong sentimental cult value as photographs that help us carry our longing for the unreachable, and to develop a sense of cultural self and belonging to a community. In this project, Ramona will set up a photo booth in Union Square and provide family portrait services to the audience that are from diasporic families. She will also show her two channel video “LeLe” online to accompany the project.
