這個展覽是一系列零碎的基隆攝影肖像，呈現我所發現的基隆——從山脈到海洋的非線性旅程。

 

基隆的景觀與地貌深深吸引了我。密集的建築層層疊疊，表面因長年濕氣而變暗，沿著陡峭的山坡蔓延，最終隱沒於隨處可見的茂盛植被中。這座城市被群山、海岸與低垂的天際線包圍。同時，它也是一座由港口塑造的城市，既是通往世界的大門，也揭示了交錯的歷史痕跡。

 

作為一名建築攝影師，我的工作始於記錄特定的城市棲地、其結構與居民，但我希望它能不僅於此。我希望這些照片紮根於現實，卻同時存在於紀實與一種難以捉摸的神秘感之間，而這種神秘感彷彿從城市幽暗的牆面中浮現。

 

幾年前，當我開始拍攝基隆時，這座城市已著手重大的都更計畫。透過這個攝影計畫，我期望在影像的黑色調中，留存那份屬於基隆的神秘感與記憶。

 

 

This exhibition is a fragmented photographic portrait of Keelung as I discovered it, a non-linear progression from the mountains to the ocean.

 

I was struck by the appearance and topography of Keelung. The density, the layers of buildings sprawling and clinging onto the steep hills, darkened by humidity and submerged by the ubiquitous exuberant vegetation. A city wedged between those hills, the shoreline and the low-hanging sky, yet a city that has been shaped by its harbour that is a door to the world and reveals layers of history.

 

As an architectural photographer, my work starts with the notion of documenting a particular urban habitat, its structure and its dwellers, but I also want it to be more than that.

I want the photos to be rooted in reality, yet I also hope they inhabit a space between documentary and an elusive sense of mystery that emerges from the city's dark walls.

 

When I set out to photograph Keelung a few years ago, the city was already undergoing a major urban renewal. With this project, I also intend to retain a memory of that mystery in the dark tones of the prints.
