The Mirror of Time

《时间之镜》the Mirror of Time

铜奖,第八届国际设计奖,美国
Bronze, 8th Annual International Design Awards, USA
这本书集结了作者多年来于各地旅行时拍下的照片。镜头只会单向地从过去到现在不停记录,然而记忆中的时间自由来去。眼睛好比镜头,人类一生依赖视网膜上的倒立虚像不断衡量自己和世界的距离。

The book collects the photos that I shot during my travels all these years. The camera just could record from past to present, but the time in my memory is free. Our eyes are like camera, we continually measure the distance between the world and us by the virtual images on our retinas. 
书籍外包装选用象征未知与梦幻的银色。包装内左侧嵌有明信片大小的书籍,右侧插入由精选摄影作品汇编而成的日历。

The packaging of the book is silver which shows unknown and fantasy. The book, the size of a postcard, is inset in the left side. In addition, there's a calendar on the right side which is printed with a selection of photographs.
左侧书籍如同旅行时携带的小记事本,内容除摄影作品还辅以少量速写、票据、文字。以富于节奏感的设计呈现不断切换的时间与空间。每个城市一个章节,每章最后一页为明信片可撕下邮寄。

The book looks like a portable notebook on trip. Besides the photos, there is also some sketch, tickets and words in the book.The rhythm sensation of photos expresses the constant change of time and space. Each city is as one chapter and the last page of each chapter can be torn down and mailed as a postcard.
