文──郭力昕
引頸企盼多年後，影像評論家張世倫的攝影論述《現實的探求──台灣攝影史形構考》（影言社，2021）終於問世。張世倫在此之前的各類寫作質量俱豐，他厚積之下的第一份專書出版不負眾望，是一份含金量極高，又具有開創性的書寫（a seminal writing）。我認為，以台灣的攝影論述出版經驗來看，這本書可視為中文讀書界應該關注的一個「事件」，值得攝影文化領域的人與普遍閱讀界重視、珍惜。

延續我們對於攝影史的關注，本期審視屬於我們自身的攝影經驗──被攝影的歷史。從台灣的殖民史出發，自十九世紀中葉以降歷經的人類學調查採集、二十世紀初隘勇線推進下的暴力顯影，到帝國博覽會裡的「台灣」意象與人種展示──這是一段最為系統性地將台灣影像化的初始時期。我們如何成為被攝影的對象？如何化為一具科學標本和一幅想像圖騰？如何在視覺上被納編（或排除）於國族與文化的整頓編程，並糾結至今？此一影像的潛歷史──被攝影的歷史──是我們返視「攝影史」的一處起點。

Since its inception in 2011, VOP has been exploring the creative concept, culture, history and philosophy behind photography by featuring photography works, interviews with artists, publishers, curators, art organizations and related professionals, and continually promoting imagery reading, critique, and the writing of photography history.
Paying close attention to the development of photography in Asia, VOP places special importance on inter-Asian connections. By combing through image literature and collating writings through collaborative effort with research scholars, VOP has presented rich and varied features and topics in every issue. At the same time, every issue of “SHOUT”, a series specially created to showcase the works and thoughts of emerging artists and presented in diverse formats, is a unique visual notebook of contemporary art. VOP is also working on putting together archives of creative works and manuscripts of artists, publishing them in special artist issues that feature never-seen-before works for the first time. Now engaging in the publication of written work and criticism through VOP BOOKS, VOP is one of the rare few independent publishers in Taiwan that focuses on photography and visual art, earning the Golden Tripod Awards, the highest honor in Taiwan’s publishing industry.
