I decided to go with zine format for my photography works, but why? If you don't know what is zine, zine is a self-published reading material usually produced in a small amount, small in size, less pages and small-circulation. The regular form of a zine is, staple bind a few piece of A4 papers, and fold them to make a A5 size booklet. Zine can be in variety of formats, such as printed or hand-written text, comics and photographs. The person who produces zine call themselves zinester. Zinester have a saying, "Zine making for love, not money", that quote strike me. Yes, I did it because I love doing it, the keyword "Love" is a very important element in zine making.
我決定我的攝影集用zine的形式詮釋,為什麼? 如果你不知道什麼是zine,zine 是一種小型的自製出版讀物,體積小,頁面少,流通量也低。製作zine可以很簡單,把幾張A4尺寸的紙釘了、折成A5尺寸的書就可以了。zine有很多形式,可以是文字的(印刷或手寫),漫畫或攝影。zine製作者稱自己為zinester。zinester有種說詞『製作zine,為愛,不為錢』,它打動了我。沒錯,我製作zine因為我享受其中,“愛”是製作zine的一個重要元素。
