Jojo Kao: Taipei to Beijing
By Liu Kai, 2010年 9月 14日
这些瞬间的记录是来自台湾台北的摄影师高倩怡 (Jojo Kao) ，她本身是从事于绘画工作，拿起相机开始拍摄的时间并不长。在2008-2009年期间，她主要生活工作于台北/北京两地，也就是在这段时间她开始尝试拿着相机去记录身边的人和事，关于照片所记录的内容也都是Jojo在这两地之间所结识的朋友。当然，把作品公布于此也并不是要去比较，只是这些场景和面孔都深深的令人动容。无论她眼睛里所看到的这些年轻人在做些什么或者想些什么，她只是单纯的试着以照片的方式去传达这最真真切切的生活，所有的瞬间也都是来自于她内心的纯粹和自由的向往。

Here are some spontaneous snaps recorded by Taipei native Gao Qianyi (Jojo Kao). Originally a painter and illustrator, Jojo has more recently taken up photography. From 2008-2009, Jojo’s life and work were rooted in two places: Taipei and Beijing. Among other subjects, Jojo began photographing friends who also knew life in both these cities. The photographs don’t necessarily invite comparisons between the two, but these scenes and faces are deeply moving moving nonetheless. No matter how her eye captures young people acting or thinking, she finds the clearest and simplest way to portray the genuine quality of life. Each moment is derived from her innermost longing for freedom and purity.
刚才提到Jojo她本身是画画出身，在2009年台湾所举办的第一届Geisai 艺术祭典中，她也报名参加这次展览的比赛活动，获得当时活动评审之一奈良美智的注意，并且她在这次台北的Geisai艺术祭典活动中赢取了铜奖，更是受到年轻人所喜爱的日本艺术家村上隆的推崇，随后也应邀参加了在日本东京举办的第十四届Geisai艺术祭典。然而，她目前生活和工作于日本和歌山 (Wakayama).
Jojo was invited to participate in the 2009 Geisai Art Festival in Taiwan, where she earned the praise of Japanese artist and youth icon Takashi Murakami. Jojo was also awarded the Copper Prize at the Geisai Art Festival in Taipei and was subsequently invited to the 14th Geisai Festival in Tokyo. She is currently living and working in Osaka.
