Fascinated by her grandfather’s seafaring life on a freighter and triggered by her own turbulent arrival to Iceland one winter, Crystal Kwan ends up buying a one-way ticket to Paris where her outbound life unfolds. Under the influence of great artists, architects and writers who travelled far both physically and creatively, she is tempted to do the same: to record serendipitous, at times overwhelming moments through writing, sketching and photography. Four themes of “souvenirs”, each a result of a particular type of travel, portray different ways of seeing as she comes face to face with the world. Be it creative or contemplative, memorable or regrettable, the greatest souvenir harnessed throughout all journeys is the transformative power of travel.

行走的詩學――影像與文字紀行一個電視人、藝術史研究者、攝影師，用四分之一世紀的生命軌跡，在移動與凝視之間，重新定義「旅行」與「觀看」。從上水的市井煙火，到大埔的潮汐節奏，從新加坡的多元疊影，到不丹的寂靜靈光，他以鏡頭寫詩，以文字顯影――在流動的世界裡，捕捉永恆的剎那。從香港上水的梧桐河畔到不丹的紅衣僧侶，從新加坡的熱帶花叢到三藩市的晨霧海灣，徐世傑以攝影師的鏡頭與文學家的筆尖，為半世紀的「流浪」刻下雙重印記。1987 年，他揣著單鏡反光相機闖歐洲，卻在西班牙丟了相機與手稿――這份遺憾讓他篤信，攝影與寫作是孿生的藝術：鏡頭定格瞬間印象，文字填補記憶空白。此後數十年，他從新加坡的商業攝影師，到香港科大藝術史博士，腳步不停，鏡頭不閒。清水灣的春霧、大埔的海風、羅湖的落日，甚至疫情中戴口罩的單車客，都被他化為兼具溫度與思考的作品。本書分「天地」「生活」「人貌」「On Photography」四部分，在「天地」篇，他走過香港的市鎮與異國的角落，用照片講述上水從「水上」到水貨中心的變遷，記錄不丹策秋節的繽紛與神聖。「生活」篇裡，單車輪碾過碎石的聲音、雨傘在街頭畫出的弧線、晨霧中掃葉工的身影，皆是他眼中的生活詩意。「人貌」篇更為動人，稚子的笑臉、青春的迷茫、老者的靜默，被他以鏡頭溫柔凝視。最後的「On Photography」，則揭開他的創作祕訣：灰階如何凸顯生命質感，攝影又如何與水墨畫意交融。徐世傑的文字如他的照片，質樸中藏著細膩，閒談間見出深刻。他寫父親送的Pentax相機，寫疫情中獨坐的老人，寫自己病後重執相機的悸動――每一個故事，都是對「旅行要帶顆流浪者的心」的最好詮釋。翻開這本書，你看見的不只是風景與人物，更是一位創作者用半生時光，與世界、與記憶、與自我的深情傾訴。

A unique collection of photographs by Yuriko Takagi, showcasing her poetic and surrealist look at Dior haute couture creations. An important addition to the library of leading artistic photographers working to interpret the fashion house's oeuvre. Takagi is an icon of Japanese fashion photography, with an artistic practice including painting and drawing. Her enchanting and otherworldly images are built with a unique and careful consideration of shadows, the result of a career-long contemplation of natural light--a theme that plays a pivotal role in her work for Dior. This book features exclusive shootings by Takagi of the most emblematic Dior haute couture designs. Takagi delivers her personal reinterpretation of the essence of Dior, opening a profound dialogue between her artistic conception and the codes of the House. Her photographs capture an ephemeral, intangible quality of the subjects, and her signature technique of layering images, in this case of flowers and architectural moti

In Socializing Medicine, Pao-chen Tang, Yuqian Yan, and Ling Zhang explore the intersections of medicine, health, and East Asian media. Interweaving archival research, audiovisual analyses, and theoretical insights from the emerging field of health humanities, the book reveals the multifaceted ways in which the mass media—from photography and film to television and live streaming—has been deployed as a tool for controlling medicine and health, privileging those with power and authority from the early twentieth century to the present. Adopting anti-colonial and anti-capitalist perspectives, the contributors in this volume challenge the dominant mediations of health against the backdrop of imperialism, Cold War geopolitical tensions, and neoliberal capitalism. Collectively, they advocate for alternative understandings of medical culture through media productions that envision accessible and equitable healthcare practices.

Blending documentary and conceptual photography, de Middel's account of migrants traveling to California brings the plight of immigration into harsh reliefCristina de Middel (born 1975), the first Spanish head of Magnum Photos, has been traveling for years with Mexican migrants on the train they call "the beast" interviewing sicarios (hired killers) and talking for hours with "coyotes" (clandestine smugglers) and police officers. She combines her own photographs with objects found in the desert and archival footage, creating a multi-layered narrative that evokes the hardships and dangers of searching for a better life. The journey begins in Tapachula, a city on the southern border of Mexico with Guatemala, and ends in Felicity, a small town in California dubbed the "Center of the World." This saga is punctuated by the accounts of three migrants recounting their crossing, as well as a commentary by the artist. An afterword by Mexican journalist Pedro Anza illuminates the issues at stake
