摘要
在近十年間中國攝影書出版中,圍繞照片檔案所展開的攝影書作品豐富且多元。這些實踐包括但不僅限於藝術家針對家庭相冊的再編輯,或是針對某一特定地點或歷史事件的重新挖掘,體現了這些藝術實踐者試圖利用照片檔案在當下與歷史、記憶之間搭建聯繫的可能性。本文首先針對近年來中國攝影書出版的時代背景進行簡要介紹,繼而就當下圍繞照片檔案進行創作的攝影書作品類型、產生這一趨勢的原因進行概括和分析。最後,文章將試圖通過對兩個創作案例的考察,思考實踐者是如何通過在頁面之間的邏輯架構,將照片檔案與特定歷史時間和空間產生關聯。

Abstract
In the last decade, a rich and diverse body of photobook works based around photographic archives is getting published in China. These practices include, but are not limited to, the re-editing of family albums by artists, or the re-excavation of a particular place or historical event, reflecting the different possibilities of these artistic practitioners in their attempts to use photographic archives to establish connections between the present and history and memory. The paper begins with a brief introduction to the contemporary context of photobook publishing in China in recent years, followed by an overview and analysis of the types of photobooks currently created around photographic archives and the reasons for this trend. Finally, it attempts to consider how practitioners relate photographic archives to a specific historical time and space through a logical structure between pages by examining two cases of creation.
