The Political Theater by Chang-Ching Su The Political Theater was my attempt to investigate how far political parties would go to secure their votes. Just like the island’s famous 7-11 stores, political parties also provide convenience services. They offer door-to-door shuttle services and free lunch-box meals for their events, which average, otherwise bored citizens gladly accept to spice up their lives.
Nostalgia by Jui-Chung Yao A selection out of the artist's archived photographs over 10 years. A reflection on the definition of a sense of nostalgia. This series of photos was featured in waterfall issue #3 'Pocket'.
Married Life With Woody & Ellen by Paula Muhr Sequences of images which present fragmentary records of ever changing day-to-day surroundings and experiences are not linear or chronological, although they are marked by recurrence of certain motifs. They follow a highly personal, associative structure which reflects my feelings of displacement.
The Sun Also Rises by Jonny Cochrane A random investigation out of the artist's daily life in London. This series was featured in waterfall issue #5 'Invisible Cities'
Very Good, Very Good by Yuxiang Dong 董宇翔 In recent years, I constantly photograph the landscape of my hometown while visiting my parents. Meanwhile, I combine photographs, newspapers, documents, and vernacular photos to investigate the transition of my hometown and the power of governmentality, capital, and medium that contribute to this transition.
Beach Sequence Pt.3 by Kirill Kovalenko All pictures were taken on the beaches of the Crimea, in a very controversial time period with different points of view. The beaches were chosen because they are considered by many people to be an indicator of the intensity of the rhythm of life in this place.
MeError by Leonardo Magrelli Apparently they are simple photos taken in front of a mirror: we should see ourselves reflected in it, but we don’t, as if we were invisible. In other words these pictures show us what mirrors reflect when we are not in front of them.
Trace by Julie van der Vaart Julie van der Vaart took the theory of panspermia as her starting point, which says that life on earth originated by contamination from outside. This made her look at the human as an alien, something ”strange” that must be investigated. Julie’s images serve as evidence for this strange form of life and are presented as a collection of traces.
A Micro Odyssey by Marco Castelli The trinomial photography, planets and bacteria and the binomials heaven and earth, finite and infinite, known and unknown, give shape to the emotions and reflections that Marco Castelli’s work wants to convey and inspire. Opposites vie for our moods and our feelings: dark and light, fantasy and reality, truth and abstraction.
Elsa Leydier : Behind The Image Leydier was born in France, 1988. Now lives and works between Lyon (France) and Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). In her photographic work, she aims to interrogate images that are used to define places or people and tries to reveal the weakness and paradoxes carried by the images.
Confessions on the apple incident by Tine Bek It's an ongoing project. It's about seduction of objects and flowers. The object and representation of the apple, sin is all around us. An adaptation of the fall in our everyday. Isolating elements of seduction. An archive of memorabilia all linking to seduction, temptation and allurement. The immediate reaction to guilt, after the first bite.
Nowhere in Taiwan by I-Hsuen Chen Influenced by the idea of the “road trip” in American photography, exemplified in the work of such photographers as Robert Frank, Stephen Shore, and Joel Sternfeld, the artist sets out to find scenes and situations that seem to be “in between,” neither landscape nor cityscape but existing in an ambiguous space so called “nowhere.”
Flash Fiction: Adrian Samson 從早先強烈的敘事性到逐漸發展出來的抽象性，Adrian在每一個系列中，從不停止探索新的表現方式。比起形式的限制，他更積極地處理什麼是他希望觀眾所看到的。
Metamorphosis by Hsiang-Lin Wang 我覺得人和人之間存在著既親密，卻又極近複雜的巧妙關係。身為人類活著本身就不是一件容易的事，我們常藉由很多外在行為以掩飾內心的恐懼，但似乎很難好好檢視自己。
Born After Birth by Craig Gibson Baptists' believe baptism to be a public witness of the identification of one's faith within Christ in the symbolic process of his death, burial and resurrection.
Fault Line by Sophie Barbasch "I chose the title because a fault line alludes to where the earth splits in an earthquake, a metaphor for a divided family with a complicated history, and also alludes to fault, or blame. I wonder, how does a family support each other, even when things aren't perfect?"
Untitled Happiness by Tjorven Bruyneel Townships were created for the blacks and separated from white residential areas by buffers. The denial of common rights produced a dual city and a dual nation, diverse urban worlds existing side by side in the same geographical space. Intermingling was rendered impossible by a whole administrative apparatus of laws, prohibitions and punishments.
Cache by Dana Stirling Family albums had become a standard in a process of portraying a family and the creation of a collective memory. Things as a birthday cake, children taking a bath or a family trip have become a portrait of the normal memory. Sometimes we don’t even remember the occasion but we can relive it by looking at the picture and assuming we remember the memory it represents.
Days of Threshold by Jeremy Ayer My images are about souvenirs or memories of certain places or actions. I think of them as visual echoes. There is something very intimate and familiar about these images but it is not shown overtly. It is alluded to in ways that makes the viewer start thinking of what it could be. I wish to trigger this mechanism in a visual art form.
