AS a typical Hong Kong teenager, Holly Lee used to listen to Peter, Paul and Mary, wear Clarks shoes, and have big hair.
Later she had a friend called Donna with whom she is now estranged, and a daughter who made greetings cards with cut-outs. When she and her husband Wingo got married, they both had long hair.
Nothing extraordinary, nothing shocking, and like most people Lee and her family recorded each rite of passage and many casual events in randomly-stored photographs. Unlike most people, Lee has selected a sequence of her family snaps, scanned them into a Macintosh computer, added captions, and created an art installation.
'When did I become so boyish and wear only shirts and jeans, and my hair cut so short?' (as she is now) wonders the caption to a 1970s picture of Lee looking pensive and wearing an orange cotton blouse. embroidered with flowers.
'Photographs can be embarrassing, and they can surprise you because you don't remember things being like that,' observed the professional photographer, who is one of four participating artists in a Digital Image art exhibition at the Goethe Institut's Agfa Gallery in the Arts Centre.
Lee has been actively involved in digital imaging for around six years, and is editor of Digi Magazine, a publication that networks work by international digital artists.
