Who is
kang xian chen
I'm Chen Kangxian, a creative worker specializing in digital media design. During my creative experience in the UK, I've been committed to capturing the purest taste of my hometown through images. This video shows why I chose to pick up the camera: to document the flowing civilizations and transform warm memories into engaging narratives, making each dish a bridge for conveying emotions.
Degree Project & Previous works
This is my graduation project and some of my previous works.
Exploring Identity Through Taste and Image
I'm a digital media designer and documentary filmmaker, currently residing between China and the UK.
My creative practice focuses on exploring the deep - seated connections among food, cultural heritage, and personal memory. Through film storytelling, I strive to capture the evocative narratives found in immigrant kitchens and global communities, as well as some aspects of my own life.
In the kitchen of a foreign land, we are not only recreating the taste of home, but also documenting a flowing civilization.
