D is for Doris.
Now that we have devoted so much effort to taking good photos, don’t we deserve something more than a failure of participation?
Focusing on the overlapped realm of photography and travel, this project attempts to imagine this topic with an encouraging vision, exploring how the photographic practice is able to actively intervene and transform our embodied experience, not replace it.
The project takes its form in a three-volume photobook set. The photographs are deliberately curated and "installed" within the printed mediums, constructing immersive ways of viewing similar to an exhibition in a physical space. Each volume respectively activates the three aspects of experience (Time, Space and Sociality) that are altered and transformed under the mediation of the photo-taking act.
