Liu Xiaofang was born in 1980 in Datong City, Shanxi Province, China. Xiaofang is a new face on the Hong Kong art scene. Demonstrating creativity and ingenuity early in her career, her nostalgic work, "I Remember no.5", was shortlisted in the 2010 Societe Generale Chinese Art Awards. The artist was recently selected by the Musée de l'Elysee as one of today's most promising photographers. "I Remember" is a series about childhood memory. Although we all have our own childhood memories, they can become distorted from the truth over time. In this series, a little girl in a white dress and red scarf is combined with various images; an atomic bomb, a missile, a cloud. She appears emotionless, as if all her feelings have bled away leaving her in a permanent state of day dreaming. By choosing the medium of photography, the artist has blurred the lines between illusion and reality. Her choice of imagery conveys a sense of mysticism in these dreamlike compositions.
