簡介：
這個系列主要是影像作者們使用攝影連結個人的生命經驗，傳達心理或精神層面的大臺南故事。
臺灣在現代化的過程中，南北資源分配失衡，迫使許多中南部的年輕人，必須遠離家鄉到北部求學和就業，不少臺南人為了生活離開家鄉，只有逢年過節才能全家團聚。臺南小孩對家鄉的美好回憶，就建立在阿嬤、阿公的熱情款待，交織著曾經熟悉但日漸陌生的農業生活型態。
張士飛於1998年起拍攝黑白照片，麻豆老家是他在攝影啟蒙時期的拍攝對象。二十年後，滄海滄田，人事已非，已超出他年齡的成熟目光，他的照片中有著濃得化不開的親情，顯現異鄉遊子的他對老家與長輩的思念。
莊坤儒也是麻豆小孩，1976年生，淡江大學大眾傳播學系畢業，目前是《光華雜誌》的資深攝影。工作的關係他得以全球跑透透拍攝不同的影像故事，多年過去，家族成員的老邁與新生，他開始回望自己成長的故鄉與異鄉的差別到底在哪裡。
陳敬寶的「迴返計畫」從小朋友扮演校園生活的小學時代，啟動對童稚回憶的深刻印象，接續從臺灣到日本、韓國、中國等不同的國小校園生活回憶編織而成。2017年迴返計畫來到總爺，邀請糖廠老員工或在地的居民，回想起自己的舊時光，那些往事如何在他們的記憶裡繚繞不去，再經重新編導拍攝以假還真。新作是以兩張照片成組呈現，一張是「迴 」另張是「返」。陳敬寶認為：「攝影作品看作是偽記憶。影像從來不是記憶本身，頂多是記憶的摹本。就像攝影是現實的摹本或是再現，記憶以及影像間不斷的往返流動的質地。」
三位作者不同特質的影像創作，展現了創作者運用實體的攝影影像與虛幻的記憶影像，於虛實之間相互流動挪移深刻的情感關係。
This series tell the stories of photographers, how they connect with people using photography and reveal the spiritual image of Tainan.
As Taiwan society goes through the process of industrialization, there is an imbalanced resource distribution between southern and northern Taiwan. Many young people from southern and central Taiwan have to move to the north to study and to work. Among these people, there are many Tainanese who had to leave their hometown to seek for a better life. They will only come home and reunite with their family during holidays.
What Tainanese remember about their hometown revolves around the warm hospitality from grandma and grandpa and the agricultural lifestyle that once seemed familiar to them.
Chang Shi-fei has been taking black and white photos since 1998. In the beginning years, Madou was where he took pictures. Twenty years later, the people and the scenery of Madou have changed so much for Shi-fei to recognize. His photography works reveal strong affection and nostalgia toward this land and the people who once lived here.
Chuang Kun-ru is from Madou, born in 1976, he graduated from Department of Mass Communication, Tamkang University. He is currently a senior photographer at Taiwan Panorama magazine, and because of his job, Kun-ru is able to capture stories around the world through the help of his camera. As old family members dwindle away and new members arrive, Madou has somehow become a foreign land to him.
Chen Chin-Pao’s Circumgyraton Project invites children to pose as themselves, as elementary students, with campus as the backdrop. The project started from Taiwan, then to Japan, Korea, and China, capturing different campus memories in his works. In 2017, Circumgyraton Project came to Tsung-yeh Arts and Cultural Center. Scaling up from school campus to a community, Chen interviews people from Tsung-Yeh about their childhood memories and why these things linger in their mind. He then takes photos of the interviewers’ descendants or local school kids re-enacting the memory scenes. Each work contains two identical photos, one is “return”; the other is “re-enactment”. Chen thinks that “photography works are false memories. Image could never be memory itself; it is at best memory’s replica. Photography is a representation or replica of reality. Memory and image are two connected material constantly going back and forth. ”
At the corridor area, it is a collection of old photos from previous sugar factory’s staffs and nearby residents. Curator Chen Bo-I repaired the damaged and faded photos and planted back into the current scene. Chen creates the dialogue of image between past and present in different time and space.
The different qualities presented in three photographers’ work all symbolize the profound connection between elusive memories and concrete images.
