﹝關於本次展覽﹞
本次展覽起因於偶然認識的美國的攝影師TOM，他十分的友好分享他所出版的兩本攝影集，各是美國與日本，透過出版社的編排與他的攝影與沖印，我們看見非常多關於照片中所透露的人文與風景地貌。
攝影的發明與持續進步，攝影由過往的擺拍走上了街頭攝影。至今更輕巧且便利取得影像則是最大的特性，在數位與網路世代，藉由螢幕快速在社群媒體上觀看世界各地人們所拍下的各地景色或人文。
本次展出者將影像做為兩種不同的媒介，其一連接紀錄與美學觀點和其特殊的攝影之眼。另一則是在社群媒體上連接了文字與心情，透過觸影生情而產生感受。
在這些影像中我們可以看見拍攝者的移動過程，由城市的這端到那端，或是移動到另外一個國度，除了生命個體的移動外，也有心理狀態的變動。足跡Footprint 分為Foot 與Print，正代表了腳與照片，而check-in則是社群媒體上所使用的打卡，代表一種到達與此曾在 ，足跡可能被抹掉，而打卡則會被社群媒體與友人記得，甚至過幾年還會被提醒，被更多的人牢記著。
本次展覽「足跡與打卡」，期待展出作品與創作者，各自藉其創作的輕薄或厚實，帶來更多對於影像創作的討論與可能性。
[About the Exhibition]
In Tom Finke’s photographs, we see a lot about the landscape of humanity in the United States and Japan. The concept of this exhibition began when I met Tom, an artist from the United States. While in Taiwan, he kindly shared his two published photo books with me, one portraying the people of the United States and other the people of Japan. Through the publisher’s (Sokyusha Publishing, JP) exquisite design and his polished photographs, including his refined darkroom techniques, we begin to understand a lot about the humanity in both countries.
With the invention and continuous progress of photography, the medium has changed and has ranged from staged photography to street photography. In today’s digital age, we can capture images much more quickly and conveniently than ever before; moreover, currently we are able to share in people’s lives easily on our screens through the images they post on various social media.
We can divide the work in Footprint and Check-In into two different categories: artists who photograph through their own aesthetic or documentary eye, and artists who express themselves through both images and texts on social media platforms.
We see photographer's moving traces in the images. They move from here to there and city to city, and as the figures move, so does the mind. The word “Footprint” combines the word “foot” and “print”, explaining how one leaves “marks” (images) through their feet (moving) in a literal way. On the other hand, people often use the “check-in” mode on social media platforms as a feature to announce their presence. Footprints might be erased, but check-ins would be or can be remembered by friends and Facebook. (you may be reminded again of this event even years later)
We sincerely hope that the exhibition “Footprint and Check-In” cultivates conversations about and around image making. Through assorted artists’ practices, we aim to showcase the extended possibilities of photography.
