數位荒原駐站暨群島資料庫 NML Residency & Nusantara Archive is happy to invite the Malaysian artist Jeffrey to revisit Taiwan with his Kanta Box Kamra. He had exhibited “Kanta Portraits: Taiwan” in Petamu (2018) and taken photos in many indigenous tribes in Taiwan. Such fieldwork also raised our curiosity about “colonial archive”, the categorization system by Japanese anthropologists, and their way of seeing. During the residency he encounters the first comparative reading of “type photographs” and his genuine methodology. The difference also leads to how the representation of (self) images are meant to the subjects, and the potential way to map “Nusantara archive” in the future. “From Archive to Tribes in Taiwan and Malaysia – Jeffrey Lim’s KANTA Portraits” (English): http://www.heath.tw/nml-article/from-archive-to-tribes-in-asia-jeffrey-lims-kanta-portraits/?lang=en
「《數位荒原》駐站暨群島資料庫計劃」2019年很高興再度邀請曾以《Kanta Portraits: Taiwan》計劃參與《邊境旅行》展覽的馬來西亞藝術家林猶進，他曾經拍攝許多台灣的原住民部落。這些田野拍攝也引發我們對於檔案工作和早期日本人類學者所建立的分類系統，以及觀看方式的好奇。在這篇訪談裡，藝術家首次面對類型影像與其工作手法的比較閱讀，而這些差異也帶出了原住民如何理解影像再現的意義，以及將來可能的群島系譜進路等討論。
