The most fringe Taipei women’s illustrated guide
Across the 20/30/40 generations, the life stories of 20 women
Taipei Arts Award First Prize Den Mambo
Taiwanese emerging photographer Lin Jianwen
Fashion magazine worker Li Zhaorong
————Joining forces————
From a (female, photography, subculture) perspective
Get to know Taipei
☻Attached is "The Troubles of Taiwanese Girls", a non-trivial androgynous article☻
※Bare back thread-bound photo book (mounted), saddle-stitched loose text, handmade (double volume) special binding※
"The lives of these girls,
More or less stained with the shadow of this city,
They dare to be different and fearless,
This beautiful Taipei apocalypse was drawn. 』
——Dedicated to the brave Taiwanese girls
To all the bravest Tai-Niu
※ The most infectious group portrait of Taipei women
The idea comes from two queer photographers——
Taipei Art Award first prize artist Den Mambo + emerging photographer Lin Jianwen,
and female writer-fashion magazine editor Li Zhaorong,
The three of them work together and hope that through touching photography and writing,
Let everyone see the Taipei girls of this generation who are "a little different", "a little edgy" and "have stories".
From this, we explore what is the connection between them and this city?
It’s not about redefining Taipei girls,
The group of authors simply want to break away from mainstream values and single aesthetics.
With tentacles that are less politically correct and less in line with the popular imagination,
Excavating "real" growth from the surroundings of their lives,
Taipei girls with unique and diverse looks.
Some of these girls seem to be living on the “edge”.
You may "not understand" some girls' lives.
However, this special "section" and "sample selection",
It is a field investigation that attempts to explore and understand contemporary Taiwanese women.
I would also like to share a relatively different story,
A group portrait of Taipei girl power with a strong subculture atmosphere.
Hmm... I also hope that through the stories of these girls who dare to be themselves,
Reversing the negative image of "Taiwanese girls" that has been ridiculed by brainless villagers for many years,
It is also the inspiration for the title of "Tai-Niu". ^^

※ The story of 20 Taipei women spanning three generations
"Tai-Niu" brings together 20 people living in Taipei.
The age range spans the 20s, 30s and 40s,
Women with completely different personalities, appearances, talents, temperaments, and careers.
Even if there are some Internet celebrities, actors or designers who seem to be in the winning group in life,
But they all possess some rebellious qualities that dare to live outside the framework.
The group of authors walked into their private homes, studios, and their playground in Taipei,
Through in-depth interviews and powerful visual images,
Show what kind of life they are living now?
Understand what their lives, relationships, work and dreams are really like?
Maybe ordinary, maybe extraordinary.
they--
May be a born rebel, an overly romantic love queen,
A slightly crazy artist, a model who educates the public on the meaning of sex,
A transgender person with design talent and a stylist who insists on wearing loli clothes,
Or a nightclub DJ who is too calm...
The only thing they have in common is that they don’t conform to social expectations.
Strong willed and courageous to show different vitality,
Even if you live in a small universe on the edge of yourself, you have nothing to fear.
※ The "Taiwanese Women's Troubles" collection of gender essays is definitely not a piece of cake.
The book also comes with 12 wonderful "Taiwanese Women's Troubles" essays on gender.
Writing topics about life, feelings and relationships,
Covering many problems faced by modern women or young people,
It was interviewer Li Zhaorong who had a chat with 20 women in the book.
Integrating many years of working experience in women’s magazines,
It summarizes the most common observations among women in their 20s, 30s and 40s.
include--
The glass heart of social media, the flow and identity of sexual orientation,
How to talk about Buddhist love, what are the lesions of pure love disease,
Can an open relationship work? Love breakup syndrome and not wanting to get married...
These small essays are actually not chicken soup at all.
Sometimes it's even too sharp (just wake up).
Then, why is の in Japanese used?
The reason is simple, because it looks better.
