Presentation:
Four picture hoarders from The Netherlands, Malaysia, Portugal and Taiwan, all book lovers and self-publishers, wanted to share their lust for pictures and the pleasure of the presentation in print.
But above all we where curious how the mix from our photographs from the West and the East would look like in a book when brought all together. The multi-faceted photographed bits of our surroundings are presented in two photo-zine interpretations.
四個攝影同好來自於荷蘭、馬來西亞、葡萄牙與台灣，我們都是攝影書迷和獨立出版人；彼此都抵擋不住分享照片的慾望，最終決定以攝影合集的方式來呈現與抒發。
把東方和西方思維所拍攝的影像湊合在一起，到底會碰撞出什麼火花呢？我們對此充滿了期待。我們集合了彼此的照片，湊成了兩本攝影誌。一本由東方代表設計；另一本由西方代表設計，但兩本都會呈現東方與西方的對照。
Short Note:
I will not review this one, because I'm part of it, nevertheless I want to write a short note about it. It was a pleasure to be part of a project like this, a total collavorative project, between 4 artist, 2 publishing houses, and a real intereaction across the world. The goal was achieved! And there is still some copies avaiable.
