Max Pam
Max Pam’s (born 1949, Melbourne) life story is illustrative of the thirst for young Australians to escape the slow, traditional and isolated Australian lifestyle in favor of seeing, touching, smelling and experiencing the world overseas. Pam travelled with a camera, enjoyed photographing every emotional moment, acquaintances, incidents of his travel, at the same time strictly budgeting his shots per day, turning only the most intense moments into pictures. His photographs feature Asia: India, Pakistan, Yemen, Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, Indian Ocean rim islands, Africa: Ethiopia, Tanzania, Mauritius, Madagascar. In the past decade his work has also looked at Europe and Australia. Pam’s works have been published in Australian and international art and travel magazines. His book Going East: Twenty Years of Asian Photography (1992) was featured in Phaidon’s History of the Photobook Volume 2 in 2006 and he won the most prestigious European book award, France’s “Prix du livre.”

Ho-Jang Liu
Liu uses his photographs as a kind of currency, a transaction, between the people he photographs and the audience.’ (Michael Brakke) Oftentimes his work focuses on documenting the token of an event that has already happened, or observing those who were involved in the event and their behaviors. The image then created from the event can be seen as a reflection of contemporary society. Liu views the absurdities inside our social system with a seemingly subtle and sorrowful but ironic attitude. He lives and works in Taipei.
