Hiders, Yimiao Wang

Hiders is a memoir-based nonfiction picture book for adults, exploring the relationship between text and image. The book examines how storytelling can fill in the gaps of memory, and write about histories that are no longer fully available to us. It also questions where the line lies between re-imagining the past and exploiting it, especially when representing voices of the deceased. Through humour and sarcasm, the narrator stays acutely self-aware of the ethical tensions involved in reconstructing personal and collective pasts through storytelling.
