《島嶼日常》是藝術家吳衍震2016年於金門駐縣創作生活近7個月的日記書，透過藝術家的視角觀察並記錄這座島嶼上的故事與生活。
金門這座小島一直為戰爭擺佈，像是一塊無法自己發聲的肉島，它身上塗了太多迷彩，被砲火轟過，事過境遷，喧鬧之後，邊境之島開始做著自己的夢，開始發聲，成為一座退去標籤的生命之島。
此書章節分為「島嶼風景」、「地方」、「鳥日子」、「那一天」、「駐村日常」，除了日記文字之外，還穿插許多攝影、生態水彩手繪稿與繪畫作品。
“Island Daily” is a diary book by artist Wu Yen-Cheng, documenting nearly seven months of residency and life on Kinmen in 2016. Through the artist’s perspective, the book captures and records the stories and rhythms of life on this island.
Kinmen, a small island shaped by war, feels like a mute body — a “flesh island” unable to voice its own narrative. Painted with layers of camouflage, scarred by artillery fire, the island eventually moved beyond its violent past. After the noise subsided, this borderland began to dream, to speak, and to transform into a living island free from its imposed labels.
The book is divided into chapters: “Island Landscapes,” “Places,” “Bird Days,” “That Day,” and “Residency Daily Life.” In addition to diary entries, it interweaves photography, watercolor sketches of local wildlife, and paintings, presenting a poetic visual and textual exploration of the island’s evolving identity.
