展覽介紹Exhibition Introduction
展區：蕭壠文化園區 北廊道
簡介：
在這個廊道中所呈現的是攝影節策展人陳伯義為臺南國際攝影節全新創作的影像，也包含部分先前歷史回顧老糖廠的創作。
近幾年來陳伯義廣泛地在歷史老照片中搜尋、閱讀與挖掘文獻的過程中，思考在地的產業、政治、財經、人文等種種演化的歷程。
面對歷史舊照，為了賦予其新生命，他會再回到每張照片的拍攝地點，對照拍攝現在的模樣，當新影舊照合體，視覺的訊息就明顯地被比對出來。
有些老照片已經破損褪色都要先經過修復，再被植回現今場景中，古今對照呈現異時空的對話。我們可以看到舊的郡役所（區公所）、公會堂現在的使用者、昔時小學生的旅遊勝地現在怎麼了。原住民文化與漢文化的融合、糖廠員工及附近居民的生活樣貌、產業與城鎮的消長，影像似乎也成了轉型正義的歷史證據。
每個快門按下的時刻都是將影像從現實中抽離，這樣的時空切片也可以說是一種對原本時空的斷章取義，但經作者創意的新舊拼貼後，攝影反而作為一個連接時空的媒介，將整個歷史脈絡重新塑造回來。
攝影節將攝影作品視為一種時空脈絡的黏著劑，規劃中的展示活動如「攝影上街」，即是要將歷史老照片放回到目前現實的場景中，時空廊道的作品也算是為未來「攝影上街」而進行的一個預視藍圖。
Venue: Siao-Long Cultural Park, Northern Coirrdor
Introduction:
Along the corridor, photos presented are the new creations of the curator of TiFF, Chen Po-i, as well as some of his previous works to retrospect the history of old sugar factory.
In recent years, Chen has been engaged in searching and collecting historical photos of various fields. During the process of reading and discovering historical archives, he has been contemplating the development of industries, politics, finance and economics, and human culture.
In order to revitalize those historical photos, he returned to the scenes in the photos and take new shots of present landscapes. The integration of these old and new images has presented a visual contrast easily.
Since some of the aged photos are damaged or color-fading, Chen had to repair the images before embedding them in the present scene. The contrast between the past and the present brings about the dialogues between different times. We can see the historical buildings of local government, the old public gathering spaces drawing new visitors, and the present landscapes of those popular tourist spots for schoolchildren’s field trips in the old days. The images, showing the integration of aboriginal and Han cultures, life of employees in sugar factories and of local residents, the growth and decline of industries and cities, also represent the historical evidence for transitional justice.
Every time when the photographer presses the shutter, he extracts the image from reality. A slice of time-space cut out from the continuum can be just like jumping to the conclusion arbitrarily in a way. Nevertheless, with the creative collages of old and new images, photography has become a medium to connect different time-space and rebuild historical contexts.
In the Festival, photos and images play the roles of adhesive to join different time-space. The concept of embedding historical photos in the real scene at present time will also be employed in another event “Photography on Streets” in the Festival. The works in the Corridor of Time Space can be a preview for the future display.
