Photographic Book Corner — 'Revisiting the Decisive Moment' Sharing Session

Overview

Photography serves as an invisible key, unlocking a fresh perception of our reality. Just as a song truly exists only when it is sung, a photograph gains its true meaning when it is captured, viewed, and reflected upon through the passage of time. The 'Revisiting the Decisive Moment' sharing session is an in-depth dialogue on photographic concepts. Led by photographer Phil Shek, this session invites participants to delve into a curated collection of photobooks, re-examining the classic aesthetic theory of 'The Decisive Moment' famously coined by Henri Cartier-Bresson.

In our current era of information overload, we explore what 'decisive' truly means. Does this concept still hold relevance in today's visual landscape, and how has it evolved? Through the act of browsing pages and engaging in discussion, participants will discover the subtle connection between the capture of a split-second and the concept of timelessness.
