Just Because You Pressed the Shutter?
就因为你按了快门吗？
Tan Chui Mui / 陈翠梅 · 2022–2023
Curated by Wang Yiquan / 策展：王懿泉
An image. A machine. An owner?
“A photograph captures a landscape. The landscape has always been there. You didn’t make the camera either. Why does the photograph belong to you? Because of your composition? Just because you pressed the shutter?”
“一张照片，拍摄了某个风景。风景一直都在。摄影机也不是你制造的。为什么照片属于你？因为你的构图吗？就因为你按了快门吗？”
— Tan Chui Mui / 陈翠梅
This exhibition asks how images come to belong to us. Family photographs, maps and materials connected to Kinmen, my father’s hometown, meet moving images and AI-generated landscapes. I explore the distance between a place, its representation and the memories we attach to it.
这个展览追问，图像如何成为我们的。与父亲家乡金门有关的家庭照片、地图和资料，与动态影像及人工智能生成的风景相遇。我探索一个地方、它的图像，以及我们赋予它的记忆之间的距离。
