The Far Side of the Moon by Lo Hui-yu
$65.00
The Far Side of the Moon is a photobook developed from Hui-Yu Lo’s long-term photographic practice, exploring the shifting relationship between female identity, motherhood, and selfhood through intimate personal experience.
The book unfolds in two parts. The first centers on long-exposure self-portraits made after the artist became a mother, in which she appears with her twin children. While the children remain sharply present, the mother’s body blurs, trembles, and gradually dissolves from the frame. The second returns to the years before motherhood, bringing together early self-portraits, travel photographs, and fragments of everyday life to reconstruct an earlier sense of self.
The Far Side of the Moon reflects on the transformation of female subjectivity across time, tracing the emotional ambiguities, tensions, and quiet displacements that accompany the passage from daughter, to woman, to mother.Â
