噶瑪蘭婦女織布的身影 / Imageries of Kavalan Weaver and Weaving Loom

 

攝影現場的背後：誰是拍攝者？誰是被攝者？穿越表現顯露了哪些訊息？

 

19世紀噶瑪蘭婦女使用織布機織布的身影，除了在1895年馬偕《臺灣遙記》一書的「平埔族織布婦女」照片中出現外，還有一系列未曾出版的相關織布照片現今保存在英國牛津大學博物館。將這些照片放在一起觀看，可以穿越表象發現一些線索顯露攝影背後有趣的脈絡；例如拍攝者的刻意佈局、人與物的錯置，以及拍攝者和被攝者關係等。

 

– Behind the scene: Who was the photographer? Who was being photographed? What messages were revealed beyond the imageries?

 

Images of Kavalan weaving in the 19th century are not only present in the photo entitled “A Pepo weaver” published by Rev. Mackay in 1895 but also appear in a series of unpublished black and white photos preserved in the Pitt Rivers Museum at the University of Oxford. By placing these photos side by side and comparing them, we discover clues that present interesting contexts beyond the surface imageries, such as the intentions of the photographer, special arrangements of people and objects in the photos, and relationship between the photographer and the subject.
