In such a visual structure, critique ceases to penetrate, and truth is no longer singular. Is a photographic record of a president inherently political? In an age of image saturation, its revelatory force has long been dulled. The stage seen through the lens, through gestures and arrangements, evokes an underlying order — transforming the act of viewing into a decipherable mythological form. The title and role of “President” are no longer just identifiers, but ongoing actions. Can the individual truly inhabit this role? Or is it merely a performance sustained by the expectations of the collective? These unanswerable questions turn each appearance into a ritualized enactment — both a presentation of the now, and a space for imagining identity. Between reality and fiction, we are both spectators and participants. In this process of viewing, the image no longer reflects reality — it begins to produce it. The viewer does not seek stable meaning, but navigates through this interweaving of fact and fabrication to locate their own position. This is not simply the viewer gazing at power; it is the viewer being positioned — revealing how we participate in, and replicate, the arrangements of power. In this age where images and sensations are tightly entwined, the reality we believe in no longer stems from experience, but from media, performance, and constructed context. The image of the president is no longer defined by actions, but is instead layered through countless lenses, postures, and responses. The president and the people do not stand at opposing ends. To question what the president represents is also to question the people themselves and the systems they inhabit. This entangled relationship ultimately guides both toward a dynamic equilibrium. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3f11b85ad2444904fc8dab/1670931597522-O82K3ZIB1I1S2AHDU4LS/SANDBOX+%2301_2022.jpg Portfolio - THE SANDBOX #01 / 2022 A sandbox is a temporary container. Originally a term from system security, it refers to an isolated environment in which potentially risky code may be tested without consequence. Large-scale COVID-19 vaccination sites resemble sandboxes. They do not ask for intent —only for reaction. Whether biotechnology can offer a reliable safety mechanism remains uncertain. More time is required. Before any result is confirmed, what is first being tested is not the object, but the relation; what is being marked is not the virus, but the position. It is a political problem — nothing more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3f11b85ad2444904fc8dab/1600484932771-Z9G98K0JUZTM6MBE01LJ/Visualizing+the+City+%2301_2020.jpg Portfolio - Visualizing the City #01 / 2020 “Memory is redundant: it repeats signs so that the city can begin to exist; an invisible landscape conditions the visible one.” - Italo Calvino From the highest point of the city, layered landscapes unfold — curved and straight, intersecting across the field of vision. Beneath perception, memory and position reside within the body, shaping an imagined sense of community through panoramic space. The inner radiance of architecture and its external structures intersect, forming a dual surface of the city. The present and the past, the concrete and the virtual, penetration and overlay, the monumental and the minute — these overlapping perspectives reveal the complexity of urban form, tracing the contours of a spatial syntax and sensory logic unique to this time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3f11b85ad2444904fc8dab/1735393028978-M9CMUGV26H27HD8L8A3N/01_FUGAKU%2301_2024.jpg Portfolio - 富嶽 FUGAKU #01 / 2024 FUJI 富士山，世界文化遺產。 是日本人信仰和情感的羈絆，也是文學、藝術的泉源，她的意義早已經超越自然本身，成為日本的一個象徵。因為獨特無二，長年終雪似永存不絕，所以也曾被稱「不二山」或「不盡山」（日文音皆同富士）。 富士山的美，簡單、純粹；風景的轉瞬多變，氛圍迷人。她賦予人的，是歌詠心境的物哀，是委婉深邃的幽玄，更是本質與存在中感受無限的侘寂。 見到她，本身就是一件幸運的事。相信曾走過、登過或看過富士山的人，心中一定都會有滿滿畫面的回憶、共鳴和感動的時刻。 懷著崇敬和感謝的心情，開始了富士山攝影創作的第一步，我讚嘆上帝創造的美好，與富士山帶來的種種想像。從富士山的古往今來，演繹她的精神和魅力，呈現富嶽動人的崇高，與不盡的壯闊和美麗。 https://www.makotolin.art/publication daily 0.75 2025-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3f11b85ad2444904fc8dab/1602908531074-XKET0DQIRP5G2ZSVPK37/001.jpg Publication The publication for the Exhibition “Visualizing the City”, Taipei, Taiwan, 2020 Edition: 101 Cover：Interior Liberation #04, Lenticular Printing 1）Invisible City, 79mm X 72mm, Polaroid, 2020（Certificate of authenticity, edition numbers, and the artist’s signature is included） 2）Invisible City, 79mm X 72cm 凝雪映畫卡 X 101 3）Visualizing the City #01, 229mm X 172mm 凝雪映畫卡 X 1 4）Visualizing the City #04, 229mm X 172mm 凝雪映畫卡 X 1 5）Interior Liberation #04 No.1, 133mm X 290mm 凝雪映畫卡 X 1 6）Interior Liberation #04 No.2, 133mm X 290cm 凝雪映畫卡 X 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3f11b85ad2444904fc8dab/1735394514333-BDCH7BZ1ODTGLNJGPA17/02_POSTER_FUGAKU+%2301_SP.jpg Publication -
