To celebrate Vogue Taiwan’s 30th anniversary, the PhotoVogue Exhibition returns to the island after a three-year break, following its 2023 debut in Taipei, Blooming Together.
Titled Fragments of Remembering, the exhibition highlights 19 emerging artists chosen from the PhotoVogue 2025 East Asia and Southeast Asia Regional Open Call. These artists come from Taiwan, Mongolia, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Macau, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Through captivating photographic art, the exhibition guides us into the memories held within the images.
The PhotoVogue exhibition covers a wide range of themes, including self-expression, family memories, bodily experiences, local culture, and identity. These photographs don’t try to offer clear answers. Instead, they show how individuals understand their connection to the world through fragments of light and shadow, after-images, and stories.

The Exhibition
Memory is never fixed. It changes over time, shaped by what we choose to remember, what we forget, and what remains unresolved. Photography works in a similar way. While an image captures a moment, it can never fully hold the emotions, sensations, and experiences that surround it.
Rather than presenting memory as a complete record of the past, Fragments of Remembering explores the space between remembering and forgetting. Throughout the exhibition, photographs become places where personal histories meet broader cultural stories, showing how memory continues to evolve long after an image is taken.
The works on display offer fragments of stories, identities, bodies, places, and cultural experiences. Together, they reflect on how we understand ourselves, our histories, and our connection to the world around us. In doing so, the exhibition invites viewers to think not only about what photographs preserve, but also about what lies beyond the frame.
