Schaduw van mijn Ziel (2011)

Su-Ying and Yilan are both Dutch woman of Chinese descent and both daughter of restaurant owners. Su-Ying has been striving in her life for equal rights for the Dutch Chinese. Photographer Yilan, through her project ChinAware, is trying to unravel how her Chinese roots have formed her as an individual. Many young Chinese like Su-Ying and Yilan saw their first images of the culture of their parents and grandparents during the nocturnal Chinese film shows that started in the 1960's. These film shows eventually lead to the Kung Fu craze that captivated the whole of Holland for decades.
