《捕月集》最初的設想是簡單的記錄和再現。
我們在日常生活中拍攝了大量手機照片,在拍
攝當下無疑有所觸動,但這些情緒很快便淹沒
在浩瀚的電子汪洋中。於是我們開始在各自的
圖片庫中尋找視覺和情感刺激,試圖通過繪圖
和文字賦予他們新的生命。我們以平面化的表
達與既有圖像之間保持距離,在保留圖像生產
日期的同時將它們編入新的故事,仿佛來自平
行宇宙,只是偶然的在此相遇。此外,《捕月
集》對我們來說也是一個繪畫語言的實驗室。
這是一個不定期更新的合集,它像一個流動的
檔案館,我們可以隨時添加,抽取,撰寫不同
的歷史。

Mooncatcher was initially conceived as a simple
documentation and representation. We took a
lot of photos by mobile phone in our daily lives.
Undoubtedly, we were touched by them at the
moment of taking photos, but these emotions

were soon drowned in the vastness of the elec-
tronic ocean. So we started to look for visual and

emotional stimuli in our photo libraries, trying to
give them new life through drawings and words.
We distanced ourselves from the existing images
with a graphic expression, preserving their date of
production while weaving them into a new story,
as if they came from parallel universes and just
happened to meet here.
This is a collection that is not regularly updated. It
is like a mobile archive where we can add, extract
and write different histories at any time.
