性的地獄
在這本攝影集中,我嘗試以具象與抽象(經歷與賦予)交錯的方式,呈現我自己所處的一種狀態。 那是一個最初看似美好的樣貌與心情,卻同時伴隨著破碎與扭曲。
影像中的視角,是既有經歷重新組構後的自身結果。那是一個我已身在其中的地方。在下墜發生時,並沒有自覺,直到此刻,我想也尚未真正脫離。或許將這些經驗寄託於影像, 以自我披露作為方法,只是為這樣的狀態留下出口的其中一種可能。
In this photobook, I attempt to present the state I am trapped within through an interweaving of the concrete and the abstract (experience and attribution).
It is a seemingly beautiful appearance and emotion, yet one simultaneously accompanied by fragmentation and distortion—
the perspectives within these images are the result of a self reconstructed through past experiences.
It is a territory I already find myself within.
When the descent first began, I was unaware of it,
and even now, I have yet to truly escape.
Perhaps entrusting these experiences to imagery,
using self-disclosure as a method,
is merely one possible way of leaving an exit for such a state.
裝幀設計
採用裸背線裝,如同主題中的「裸」與「揭露」,使裝訂結構穿越、支撐在觀賞裡,也保留未被遮掩的狀態。封面裱貼帶有凹凸紋理的馬奔紙,與粗顆粒作品相呼應。扉頁選用帶有纖維感與溫度的灰奶油司康紙,作為翻開序章前的過渡;內頁則使用具有細顆粒手感的馬鈴薯紙,如有傷疤卻仍平滑的肌膚,讓翻閱與觀賞時,觸覺能夠延伸到視覺。
