Does traveling with our camera at hand all the time mean that it replaces our real experience? Focusing on the overlapped realm of photography and travel, "Distant Flash" attempts to imagine this topic with an optimistic vision. In the form of a three-volume photobook set, it explores how the photographic practice can intervene and transform our embodied experience, not replace it, with our initiative at play.
With photographs deliberately curated and “installed” within the printed mediums, the set constructs immersive ways of viewing similar to an exhibition in a physical space, and respectively emphasizes the three aspects of experience (Time, Space, and Sociality) transformed under the mediation of the photo-taking act.
The photobook set is accompanied by a thesis book using a similar typographic system. The thesis book includes the full version of an original essay on this topic, featuring the photobook project and several other relevant projects.
