Note: Musquiqui Chihying’s solo exhibition “Figure, Flash, Camera” includes ‘Figure’ (2017), ‘Camera (36)’ (2016), ‘Camera (16)’ (2016), and ‘Flash’ (2017), which all address the reactions of the photographed in front of the camera. The author, Wang, Po-wei, cites the concept of “Image Act” by Horst Bredekamp to respond to the exhibition, and he proposes that an image is more than just a medium but the speaker, and it has to be accessed in the context of its relations with the viewers in every moment as well as its limitations.
