Summary: Yee Ling Tang (Hong Kong, 1972) connects in some fifty photographs the life of her grandparents in Hong Kong with that of her parents, herself, and her daughter, the fourth generation. The strong tie between past and present is reflected in the ritual ancestor worship. Yee Ling Tang’s work reveals a photographer who has succeeded in distilling her experiences in several cultures into a style all her own. Her perspective is not the sum of Hong Kong and the Netherlands. It is a new view, an autonomous look at reality.

Date and place of birth of photographer/s: 2nd of May 1972

The Indie Photobook Library is TWO!

This past weekend, the Indie Photobook Library celebrated its 2nd Anniversary. Thank you to all the photographers/artists/bookmakers that have made the collection what it is today! I’d also like to thank Advisory Board members Darius Himes, Andy Adams, Shane Lavalette, and Gabe Reed and all the venues that have welcomed the iPL. In the last two years, the collection has grown to almost 1000 books. The iPL continues to promote and showcase the books in the collection through international pop-up and feature-length exhibitions, articles, conferences, guest lectures, and also preserves them as a non-circulating public library. Having a specific collection dedicated to this contemporary movement in publishing allows for the development of future discourse on trends in self-publishing, the ability to reflect on and compare books in the collection, and for scholarly research to be conducted years, decades, and centuries to come. I am looking forward to continuing the iPL mission.

Cheers,
Larissa Leclair
