「抵抗、解放的戰略化戰術就是：積極地發明影像！」―― 高重黎《物．像．書》是藝術家高重黎的首部書寫作品，以「可見性的政治經濟動力學」貫穿展開，探討攝影術自發明以來如何藉技術與殖民體系，擴大為全球的「可見性基建工程」與「影像原始積累」。書中集結高重黎近十餘年來的重要論述、訪談、創作筆記，並收錄代表作《幻燈簡報電影：秋刀魚的滋味》與《延遲的刺點：堤2》紙上版等系列與繪稿，全書逾兩百幀圖片，部分為首度公開，廣泛涵蓋影像與感知論題，以及對動畫、攝影、電影與生成式影圖等技術圖像歷史的關鍵分析。本書邀請讀者隨高重黎獨樹一幟的創作理路，對我們自身的視覺精神史進行一次基進考察，拆解影音階級與權力秩序的暴力構造，鑄造奪回感知主權的思想機具和實踐方法！Thing．Figure．Book is the debut written work by artist Kao Chung-Li. Centered on the "political-economic dynamics of visibility," the book interrogates how photography, since its inception, has expanded into a global "infrastructure of visibility" and "primitive accumulation of images" through technology and colonial systems. The book assembles Kao Chung-Li’s essential essays, an interview, and creative notes from the past decade. It also includes paper-based versions and sketches of his representative series, such as Slideshow Cinema: An Autumn Afternoon and Belated Punctum: La Jetée 2.

《A Daydreamy Child Takes a Walk》出自義大利童話大師Gianni Rodari的經典故事集《Telephone Tales》，由國際知名插畫家Beatrice Alemagna繪製，全新詮釋孩子天真的靈魂。小喬凡尼走在路上，注意力卻被花草、雲朵、世界的細節吸走，結果竟「遺失」了自己。這個看似荒誕的故事，卻巧妙捕捉孩子專注於生活微小處的美好，是一首送給所有孩子與仍懷有童心大人的溫柔讚歌。Written by Gianni Rodari, the father of modern Italian children's literature, and charmingly illustrated by award-winning artist Beatrice Alemagna, this bright, sweet story reminds us what children are really like in the most essential and beautiful way!Little Giovanni is always daydreaming, always paying attention to the small miracles that lead him to lose track of the big picture. So even though he's promised his mama to keep his eyes open on his walk, he can't help but get distracted. Cheerful, carefree, and curious, Giovanni literally loses himself as he discovers the wide, wonderful world around him. Here, Rodari highlights the gorgeous way children give themselves over to their attention to the world by having Giovanni lose parts of himself as he walks along. Should his mam

The Law of the People’s Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong SAR (the ‘NSL’) promises to be the most important legal development in Hong Kong since the advent of the Basic Law. Many wondered in the aftermath of the NSL how the foundations of Hong Kong’s system might be changed and in what way the freedoms valued by Hong Kong may be affected. Supporters view the law as essential for the preservation of public order and the national security of China and to support the fundamental well-being of “One Country, Two Systems”, an arrangement that has been in place since the return of Hong Kong to China. Critics fear an adverse impact on the spirit of “One Country, Two Systems”.From a discussion initiated by the University of Hong Kong’s Faculty of Law, this collection of essays brings together leading experts on Hong Kong and Chinese law to offer an exploratory study of the NSL and its impact on the legal system and the principle of the rule of law in Hong Kong
