座落在中國四川偏遠的小鎮上，有一座老茶館彷彿與世隔絕的存在著，他就像一座凝固幾世的歷史文物館乘載著人們品茗、打牌、打盹的日常，攝影師劉浣青捕捉茶館裡的老茶桌、老竹椅、老茶客，他們無聲地訴著在氤氳瀰漫的茶館裡過著的日子，在我們不認識的另一片土地上，沒有熙來攘往的吵雜車聲，遠離城市的喧囂，一旁的擺件與成堆的舊物，象徵著曾經躁動的青春和流逝的歲月，透過影像彷彿都能聞到撲鼻的茶香，聽不清楚的方言耳語。
In the remote town of Sichuan, China, there is an old teahouse that is isolated from the world. Like a hall of historical relics, it records people’s daily life as they drink tea, play cards, and take a nap. Photographer Liu Wan-ching captures the old tea tables, old bamboo chairs, and old tea guests of the teahouse. They quietly tell the stories of the days in the mist-shrouded teahouse. There is no hustle and bustle from vehicles on the unfamiliar land far away from any city. The furniture and piles of old things symbolize the years gone by and the restless youth of the past. The images make it almost possible to smell the strong tea aroma and the inaudible dialect whispers.

「握手」在人類文明發展中視為一種友好的祝賀、感謝或相互鼓勵也是相互信任的象徵，人的雙手能給予的能量十分強大，在素不相識的陌生人面前，伸出自己的手，就像是給予無形的擁抱一樣溫暖，攝影師王志傑於過去旅遊時用自己的雙手，與世界握手，同時用相機拍攝與世界各土地人民握手互動的樣貌，彼此雙手緊握的瞬間是最直覺、真摯、有趣的互動，人們的反應溢於言表值得紀錄。這兩年因為疫情的關係，人們戴著口罩並減少與陌生人的肢體接觸，即便真要碰觸也是先消毒，微小的病毒輕易的隔開人與人之間的距離與信任，期待疫情過去的彼時，我們能自然的與世界交流，以善良交換這世界的溫柔與可愛。
“Shaking hands” is regarded as the friendly wishes, gratitude, mutual encouragement and symbol of mutual trust. People’s hands can bring great power. Reaching out hands to strangers is as warm as giving invisible embraces. Photographer Wang Chih-chieh used his hands to shake hands with the world on past journeys. At the same time, he took the photos of shaking hands and interacting with people in different places of the world with his camera. The moments of holding hands firmly is the most instinctive, sincere, and interesting interactions. People’s indescribable reactions are worth recording. Due to the pandemic of the past two years, people wear masks and minimize body contact with strangers and disinfect hands before touching each other. The tiny virus has widened the distance and broken the trust between people. We expect to naturally interact with the world and exchange goodness for the tenderness and loveliness of the world after the pandemic.

「白晝有光，夜晚有星」——〈星系對望──溫羅汀咖啡館〉來自詩人林婉瑜的手筆，正因為白天的光照亮了所有萬物，我們才在暗處找尋絕佳的位置，捕捉光的姿態。攝影師馬賽幾乎年年前往阿拉斯加旅遊及拍攝，對他來說阿拉斯加絕無僅有的自然景色，值得一而再，再而三的等待，逆光下的蜿蜒道路為歸人指引回程的路；湖邊甩毛的小狗渾身閃耀轉為焦點；歪斜的電線桿成為一種神聖及救贖；慢跑的人在光中找的溫暖及能量。透過馬賽的作品認識離我們遙遠的極地國度，以及阿拉斯加彷彿有靈性的光，它時時刻刻都在為你按下快們的那一刻做準備。
“The day has light. The night has stars.” —“The Stars of the Galaxies──Wen Luo Ting Café” is written by poet, Lin Wan-yu. As the light of the day brightens everything it touches, we seek the best position in the darkness and capture the movement in the light. The photographer Kyo travels to and takes photos of Alaska almost every year. For him, the rare natural scenery of Alaska is worth waiting for again and again. The backlit winding roads guide the returning visitors. The shining dog shaking its fur by the lake turns into the focus. The slanting electric pole turns into the sacred redemption. The jogger finds warmth and energy in the light. Kyo’s works acquaint us with the remote land of the polar region as well as the spiritual aura of Alaska. They are always ready the moment the shutter is pressed.
