Keep Drinking
Since 2014, I have been taking photos of my husband and our twins on the platforms of train stations in Taiwan. Almost every month, we go from Hualien to my parents’ house in Hsinwu, Taoyuan, and then visit my husband’s parents in Taichung. We do this almost every month. Traveling with two young children wears you out physically and mentally, and taking photos has become a form of entertainment. This activity has gone on for six years. At the beginning, it was because my husband needed drinks that contained a high amount of sugar to boost his energy, which then became a form of performance. This series of photos was taken with my mobile phone, like a journal logging our family trips. The railway is a line connecting us on the east coast with our family on the west coast. Time is a line with different images engraved as notches on it.
Keep Drinking
自2014年起,陸續拍了雙胞胎子女與爸爸的在車站與月台上的影像,幾乎每個月來回花蓮與新屋娘家及台中婆家,帶著兩個幼兒東西奔波精神體力皆耗損,而拍照成為過程中自娛娛人的活動。相同的形式,持續進行了六年。剛開始是因為爸爸需要高糖份飲料提振精神,後來發展成一種表演的姿態。此系列影像幾乎全數以手機拍攝,是一種家庭旅行日記,鐵軌像一條線,連接了在東岸的我們與西岸的親人,時間也是一條線,而影像在其中留下點點刻痕。
