SHOUT是《攝影之聲》出版的一份不定型特輯系列，本輯內含四份影像小輯，分別收錄台灣年輕創作者——鄭亭亭、李立中、劉芸怡、羅晟文的作品。從觀光消費主義的圖像文化、台式傳統宮廟的現代性變奏、邊緣島嶼頹圮的歷史軌跡，乃至全球核彈引爆點的地景檔案，我們在景觀社會中挪移、探勘、疑惑、思索⋯⋯
SHOUT is a special issue series published by Voices of Photography with no stylistic limitations. This issue contains four image compilations by four young artists from Taiwan —— Ting-Ting Cheng, Li-Chung Lee, Yun-Yi Liu and Sheng-Wen Lo. From the image culture of mass tourist consumerism to the modern variation of traditional Taiwanese temples, to the historical accounts behind the ruins of a marginal island and even the image archives of nuclear detonation sites around the world, we are moving along in this society of the spectacle, exploring, doubting and thinking about the sights and sounds that we experience…
