簡正怡的作品嘗試藉由探索自己為出發點。她透過兒時記憶所再現傳達出的影像充滿了旋律性，在這些充滿光影與色彩的作品中，時間好似已被快門凝止，但就實際而言，透過整體作品所呈現出的，卻是告訴我們時間的流動與消逝。或許你認為自己正看著這些乍現的光影，然而在生命中所出現的這些光影正無時不刻地凝視著你，凝視著你逐漸變老。

　　季惠民則是嘗試將這數年透過「映像咖啡顯影」網站中所發表的黑白照片，透過自己在暗房的實作中還給它們黑白銀粒子的身分。黑白注定天生是超現實這樣的事實，無亦是提醒我們這些作品是對「美」的追尋，也是旨在凸顯形式上的品質。無異是提醒在台灣這樣快速流變和凡事追求新穎的社會潮流裡，傳統和基本的影像品質仍有許多揮灑和努力的空間。

　　攝影可以是為事實做見證的媒介，但在這個展覽中並非試圖扮演這樣的角色。這些抽象卻充滿色彩的光影，與具象卻無彩度的世界所相互碰撞的，是兩個人生命歷程的各自表述與詮釋。若僅用一句話來形容，那就是：「生命是如此美好！」(文：一瓢飲)

Fragments, Ferments, and Memories
The Photo Exhibition of Max & Gnosis

What is photography? A picture is a fragment, a key to open Pandora's box. It pieces up our memory magically and touches the string of our heart.

Fragments, Ferments, and Memories is a photo exhibition by Max and Gnosis, whom meet each other in The Institute of Art Study, NCKU. What they shared in their photographs is the discourse of memories, in other words, the life they passing by.

Gnosis tries to discover herself at the beginning. With her memories of childhood she represents images full of rhythms, lights, shadows and colors. It seems each of the photos frozen by the shutter, but, however, the whole images are telling their own tale, the story of time passing away. Maybe you think you are looking upon those lights and shadows for a glance, but those lights and shadows are gazing you until the end of the time.

Max attempts to express his black & white photos, published on his web site: Developing Image Coffee (http://imagecoffee.com) in the recent years, through darkroom prints. The silver grains also reveal the identity of traditional photography. Because of black & white is doomed to be surrealism, those pictures tell us the quality of form. Especially the digital photography is now the mainstream in Taiwan. Max's photos also remind us there is still another way from digital to analog, pixel to grain. Traditional photography is still having its own way.

Photography can act the role of evidence but not in this exhibition. The discourse between those abstract images in colors to those realistic monochromes is the interpretation of two spirits. In brief: "Life is fabulous."
