SOME GUEI_SOME JING 是一本鏡像投射的藝術家書籍,也是一本如同交換日記的旅遊紀實,說明Guei(貴)與Jing(菁)2019年的一段夏天旅程。
兩人在相同的區域、 相同的時間段進行旅遊,期間僅依靠通訊軟體聯絡彼此,得知對方的相對位置及狀態,宛如在身旁,但始終沒有見面。
訊息和影像取代真實的接觸,成為另一種互動的方式,彼此頻繁的文字訊息、通話,顯示個人旅遊的孤極感和與人連結的渴望。
書中以Guei(貴)在右邊、Jing(菁)在左邊,記錄旅行的時間、地點、照片、對話紀錄。透過不斷的對照,重構記憶中的旅行,同時也反映現代人不喜愛干涉與摩擦,卻仍需陪伴與理解的人際關係。
This is a travel documentary illustrating Guei and Jing’s summer journey in 2019, when they traveled in the same area, at the same time, relying only on communication software to contact and learn from each other’s relative location, status, as if they were beside each other, but actually never met.
Messages and images replaced real contact as another way of interaction. The frequent text messages and calls between two revealed a sense of personal travel isolation and a desire to connect with others.
Contents written with Guei on the right side and Jing on the left side of the photobook, as an exchange diary, recording time, places, photos, and conversations of the trip.
Through the constant contrasts by two, the book reconstructs the travels in memory and reflects the interpersonal relationships of modern people who do not like interference and friction, yet still need companionship and understanding.
The book includes a schedule paper, a sketch brochure, a notebook, two tickets and a letter as the souvenir from the journey.
