SOME GUEI_SOME JING

This is a travel documentary illustrating Guei and Jing's summer journey in 2019, when they traveled the same area, at the same time, relying only on communication software to contact and learn from each other's relative location, status, as if they ere beside each other, but actually never met.

Messages and images replaced real contact as another way of interaction. The frequent text messages and calls between two revealed a sense of personal travel isolation and a desire to connect with others.

Contents written with Guei on the right side and Jing on the left side of the phonebook, as an exchange diary, recording time, places, photos, and conversations of the trip.

Through the constant contrasts by two, the book reconstructs the travels in memory and reflects the interpersonal relationships of modern people who do not like interference and frictions, yet still needs companionship and understanding.

The book includes a schedule paper, a sketch brochure, a notebook, two tickets and a letter as the souvenir from the journey.
