TRAVEL DIARY is a 2D animation using collage, video, photography, stop motion, composting and traditional illustration skills. Alone in New York, the director released his anxiety by communicating with his friends throughout the world and condensed his thoughts and feelings into TRAVEL DIARY. By employing his naïve but sophisticated handmade art and fast-cutting motion graphics, Liu not only surprises his audience with colors and layers, but also presents an exploration of creativity and self- expression.

Screenings: Seoul Film Festival

Keng Ming Liu studied Entomology at National Taiwan University, frequently visiting Mt. Lala for collecting specimens and enjoying the beauty of nature. The memory of discovering various kinds of beetles and fascinating butterflies became the source for Liu’s inspiration in producing his animation, TRAVEL DIARY. This piece represents the completion of Liu’s MFA degree in Computer Art at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
