台灣印刷 Printed in Taiwan 期2

The 2nd season of Printed in Taiwan featured eight publications from some of Taiwan’s most inspired artists, illustrators, and zinemakers. Published by underground venue, record shop, and label Senko Issha, Try Try Collection presents the drawings of Yang Zhiyu, aka Dr. Kuma, whose zine comes with a magnifying glass and a link to download the narration of each page’s text. Similarly mind-spinning in execution is artist Lai Shu Chin’s Land Softly, the journal of a young girl in free fall, each book packaged with a tuft of white fluff. Morijam Theater’s RISO-printed work comes encased in a palm-sized, ribbon-wrapped paper box, depicting a a world of colourful abstraction titled A Room with a Sea Wave Carpet. From Taichung, there is artist duo niú pong’s imagined archeology, an illustrated pictorial book of the fauna and flora discovered by a hunter, TASCUKAN. From Tainan, illustrator Siao Bow’s See You in My Dreams takes a psychedelically inclined journey through the subconscious mind with a collection of short manga. How to Party is written by Dr Riles Jay Bilgo and illustrated by Pam Pam Liu, a collaboration that highlights the former’s lyrical prowess and the latter’s intuitive sense of humour. Equally engrossing on first flip-through is the dick, a staple-bound, black-and-white zine that depicts the day-to-day situations faced by male genitals, illustrated by creative duo THEVOLCANO. Then there is Zhong Xian’s second publication, Love Letter, a digitally illustrated work that opens up to a ream of accordion-folded pages.

台灣印刷 Printed in Taiwan 期2

The 1st season of Printed in Taiwan featured photobooks by Angus Chen (Abandoned), Ho Yu-Lun (Cicada), and Yunxuan Yang (Saturn Journals, pt. 1/3), as well as the duo of Bryan Gordon and Ralph KC Woo, whose Magazine presents photos on the theme of ‘Fever’ for its 5th issue. Pushing the limits of the photobook genre, Archi Chang’s ROUGH presents a collection of unordered, unbound black-and-white photographs packaged in a cardboard box, and Newester’s New Photography offers not photographs but texts — to be read in a way that could be likened to a flip-book, each word in a sentence on a separate page. Qui Hui’s Wakusei no Ko blends together prints of watercolour paintings through the tactful use of translucent paper. From Taichung, there is literary journal Les Morceaux, now on their 8th issue. And from Kaohsiung, the first book in Somanana Rain’s Oracle Dictionary series explores the roots of Chinese ideographs through a study of oracle bone script. Another one of Rain’s projects is the RISO-printed, spiral-bound COVER magazine, which collects illustration and design work by 22 artists from around the island. Another collaborative work comes from Kuo I-Kuan and Chichen Wu, whose assemblage of poetry, painting, drawing, and photography presents a whimsical array of thoughts and reflections on the way that some things are remembered while others are forgotten.
