《藍領》是攝影師賴東序（Eden Lai）以台船基隆廠為題材的工業紀實攝影集。作品深受俄羅斯構成主義藝術家羅德琴科（Alexander Rodchenko）啟發，運用高反差黑白影像與強烈光影對比，將堅毅的勞動身影轉化為永恆象徵，賦予造船工業截然不同的美學樣貌。
自 1948 年台船基隆廠創立以來，這項產業承載了無數家庭生計。具備二十年美術基底的賴東序，因緣際會擔任船舶塗料監工，親身融入藍領階級生活。他將每日例行的施工進度彙報，轉化為藝術家的感性直覺，使硬派的工業現場昇華為獨特的跨界視角。
本書不僅是真實的勞動寫照，更體現了「個人美學」與「造船工業」間的反差與融合。在此誠摯邀請讀者一同走進作者的感官視覺，並重新審視勞動者的價值與貢獻。
Blue Collar is a compelling collection of industrial documentary photography by Taiwan-born photographer Eden Lai. Drawing inspiration from Alexander Rodchenko’s avant-garde aesthetics, Lai turns his lens to the CSBC Keelung Shipyard. Through high-contrast black-and-white imagery and a dramatic interplay of light and shadow, he transforms steadfast laborers into timeless symbols, granting the shipbuilding industry a striking new aesthetic identity.
Since its founding in 1948, the CSBC Keelung Shipyard has sustained the livelihoods of generations. With a twenty-year foundation in fine arts, Eden Lai’s career took an unexpected turn when he became a vessel-coating inspector. Immersed in the daily rigors of the blue-collar world, he infused routine technical reports with an artist’s intuitive sensibility, elevating the rugged industrial site through a singular, multidisciplinary lens.
This book is far more than a documentary of labor; it is a convergence of personal aesthetics and industrial grit—where contrast and harmony coexist. Readers are invited to step into Lai’s sensory vision and rediscover the profound value and contributions of these workers.
