As we continue on the topic of the history of photography, we turn to our own photography experiences in this issue – our history of being photographed. It takes root in Taiwan’s colonial history, from the collection of anthropological surveys in the 19th century, to the acts of violence at the defence lines as they pushed on during the Japanese colonial era in the early 20th century, as well as the exhibition of the “Taiwanese” imagery and ethnicity at various expositions held during the Japanese colonial rule. These form the beginnings of a systematic effort to visualize Taiwan.
The Umbrella Men is a group of anonymous media workers in Hong Kong. Since the Umbrella Movement in 2014, they have actively and voluntarily interviewed and reported on people participated in social movements. They assembled a book every year to testify the changes in Hong Kong's political and social consciousness. Our Last Evolution is a log of the deprivation of freedom of Hong Kong people in 2019.

The “A Study of Contemporary Photography in Asia” series is a serial project that focuses on imagery culture and creative practice in various regions of Asia. Through this connection and a view that pans across Asia, we are trying to expand our understanding of the process of practice, visual experience, culture and the identifying coordinates of photography in Asia, and using such knowledge as a continuous reflection of imagery history and epistemology.
