- The author explains “Half Roll” as a film roll—and a life of events—that never seems quite finished.
Field notes
The Chinese name “半卷” is explained on the page through the idea of a film roll that never quite runs out, alongside the sense that events keep unfolding. The homepage includes a short first-person introduction and says many photographs come from after school and afternoons when the author does not want to go home. It also says photo selection is personal rather than organized around a fixed theme.
