杜可筠 Keyun Tu 攝影集《弄潮 A Tremendous Fortress》

作品簡介：

馬祖東莒島是「離島中的離島」，無論走海路或空路都要經歷數次轉乘，於是我嘗試以攝影書的形式，將這座遠得要命的小島收進行囊、納進日常。

在2021至2023年間，我三次在夏天回到島上。起初是對島上依循潮汐變化的生活作息感到好奇，卻在對海洋和潮汐的關注中漸漸看見島的生機和活力，島和島上的生物在看似恆常變動的汪洋大海中學會彼此協調、尋得自身的秩序。

我將島上神秘又吸引人的能量氛圍歸結為「不失生機的孤寂」，由此發展出攝影書的中英文標題。「弄潮」的流動感談的是天天變動著的潮汐和島上充滿活力的人與動植物，”A Tremendous Fortress”（直譯為一座巨大的碉堡）的穩定、安全感則是讓我安居其中的孤寂。我在那份孤寂之中獲得平靜，得以將自己打開，體驗和感受更多更多。

Dongju Island, Matsu is an "outlying island among outlying islands", requiring multiple transfers, whether by sea or air, to reach. Determined to encapsulate this distant locale into my daily life, I endeavored to transform its essence into a captivating photography book.

Between 2021 and 2023, I made three summer sojourns to the island. Initially drawn by curiosity about the island's rhythm dictated by the ever-shifting tides, I gradually uncovered the island's vigor and resilience by immersing myself in the ebb and flow of the ocean. Amidst the apparent chaos of the changing sea, the island and its inhabitants revealed a harmonious coordination, creating a unique order.

I ascribed the island's enigmatic and alluring energy to a "solitude without losing vitality," inspiring the titles of the photobook in both Chinese and English. The dynamic essence of 「弄潮」(directly translated as “playing with tide”) captures the daily fluctuations of the tides and the lively interactions of the island's inhabitants, both human and non-human. On the other hand, the stability and security reflected in "A Tremendous Fortress" convey a sense of comfort within the solitude, where I discovered tranquility and embraced the opportunity for deeper experiences and emotions.
