水岸.信仰.人家 Seashore.Belief.People



攝影除了忠實地複現自然,也反映出地理環境、社會文化與生活景觀的差異。在新北市國際藝術村駐村策劃此國際攝影展,特地邀請在地與國外各三位攝影家共同參展。

Eugene Lee /台裔美籍,以《腳印》映照人從哪裡來終往何處去,簡單又耐人尋味的意象。 Norman Negre /菲裔美籍,他的《賜予和取回》記錄了夏威夷大島變遷中的漁村和生死存在與永恆的探討。 Lance Hamasaki /日裔美籍,以寫給太太的俳句,搭配老樹孕育出生命正能量,並以蛞蝓象徵慢活哲學。

康玟琳在下班後,喜愛以攝影抒壓,經常去感受《霞光艷艷》,並樂於與他人分享滬尾之美。李文洲對照台灣傳統慶典儀式中常見的神豬比賽,並呈現祭拜素豬公具有動保意識的《轉變》。鄭志宗的《父子檔討海人》見證了親情的可貴,也呈現出某些傳統產業逐漸式微的現象。萬一一在藝術村頂樓驚見水岸美景,爾後思索水岸第一排究竟屬於誰?因而計劃邀請觀眾《點出最煞風景獎》。

攝影家們關注友善環境的議題,熱愛親水居家,融合島國殖民文化之流轉,呈現跨越東西島嶼的景觀與人文,彼此分享創意之餘,也體現了在地居民與亞裔美國人去中心化的觀點,再現溫馨的邊陲美學。

SeashoreBeliefPeople

In addition to “faithfully reproducing nature”, photography also reflects on the differences in geographical environments, social cultures, and scenes from daily life.  For this international photography exhibition, my residency program at New Taipei International Artist Village is planning to specially invite three local and three foreign photographers.

Eugene Lee / Taiwanese-American, he uses “Footprint” to portray simple and thought provoking imagery that reflects on where people come from, and where they will go.  Norman Negre / Philippine-American, his “Giveth And Taketh” documents the changes to a fishing village in Big Island of Hawaii, and explores the themes of life, death, and eternity.  Lance Hamasaki /Japanese-American, pairs a haiku he wrote to his wife with the positive energy of life nurtured by old trees.  Furthermore, he creates the image of slug to symbolize the philosophy of slowness.

After work, Wen-Lin Kang unwinds through photography, often feeling “the Bright Rays of Sunset” while sharing the beauty of Tamsui with others.  Wen-Chou Li draws from the God Pigs contest commonly found in Taiwanese traditional ceremonies, “Transform” emphasizes a spirit of animal protection through vegetarian God pigs.  Jimmy Cheng’s “Father and Son Fishermen”, we witness the value of family, but also the gradual decline of some traditional industries.  While viewing the beauty of the riverside on the roof of the artist village, I began wondering to whom the front row of the riverside belongs.  As a result, the idea came up to invite viewers to participate in “the Point Out the Most Unpleasant Scenery Award“. 

Photographers concern environment-friendly issues, love to settle their homes near the waters, fuse the circulation of colonial cultures among island countries, present the island landscapes and cultures across the Eastern and Western islands, share creativity with one another, reflect the viewpoints of decentralization between local residents and Asian-Americans, and represent the warm border aesthetics.
