是陳界仁沒錯!
這本書,書名叫做:Photogrpahy: A cultural hisory 是美國紐約Syracues 美術系負責攝影史課程的 Mary Warner Marien 副教授的最新著作。
陳界仁的作品被她放在第八章 Epilogue(跋),第二節 Post photography(後攝影時代),第二段 Everything old is new again(第一段為 The End)。
關於陳界仁的作品,作者這樣寫著:
Digital processes have also been used byh social compaigners and critics such as Hulleah Tsinhnahjinnie (see p.407), for whom they facilitate copying old photographs and collaging them with bits of appropriated imagery, to create pointed yet humorous indictments of Eurocentric points of view (Fig. 8.15).
In his work, Taiwanese artist Chien-Jen Chen(b.1960) has moved from performance art to digital photographs, in which he inserts himself into disturbing historical images of Chinese history. Like many users of computer-assisted software, Chen paints and draws using the pen attached to the digital touchpad. Some electronic processes rely on a computer mouse to select and merge images, where others depend on traditional manual dexterity.
In other words, computer-assisted image production has not completedly superseded traditional drafting skills. Perhaps that is why critics lauded Canadian Jeff Wall (b.1946) for reinventing painting in the 1990s.
各位網友可以到我在文大的「ㄚ寶影像傳教館」的討論區中看見印有陳界仁作品的圖像。

CHIEH-JEN CHEN, self-destruction, 1996. Digital print.
Chen digitally inserted his body and face several times into an old photogrpahs of Communists sympathizers being beheaded in Shanghai. He toys with the viewer"s perceptions of how and why material comes to be understood as fiction.
