Qiu Ying Poetry Journal, Issue 30
(PUBLICATION: Qiu Ying Shi Kan 秋螢詩刊, issue 30. 6x34-inch, 1986)
In my previous piece, I mentioned photographing 麥顯揚 Mak Hin-yeung’s works for Qiu Ying Poetry Journal and the remaining Polaroid from that session. Here is the physical copy of that issue.
Each issue of Qiu Ying Poetry Journal consisted of eight accordion-fold postcards. The first panel served as the cover, with the back of the cover typically featuring a short essay. The remaining seven panels formed the content of the issue, with each postcard usually showcasing a single poem.
Contributors to this issue included Chung Kwok-keung 鍾國強, Chung Ling 鍾玲, Ho Fuk-yan 何福仁, Choi Chi-kiu 蔡其矯, Hon Muk 韓牧, Wong Heung 黃襄, and Ku Kung 顧工. The seven postcard panels were perforated, allowing them to be detached and used individually. On the reverse side of each postcard, space was provided for an address and message, just like a traditional postcard.
For this issue, the back of the postcards also featured small images of seven additional sculptures by Mak. These images not only served as decorative elements but also allowed us to present more of the artist’s work within the constraints of the compact format.
[秋螢詩刊第30期]
以前談過拍攝麥顯揚作品發刊在秋螢詩刊，當時所使用的寶麗來。這裡是該期詩刊的實物。「秋螢詩刊」明信片時期，每期由八張連續在一起的明信片構成。其中第一瓣是封面，封面背後通常發刊一篇短文。其他七瓣乃刊物的內頁，通常每頁發刊一首詩。是期的作者包括：鍾國強，鍾玲，何福仁，蔡其矯，韓牧，黃襄，顧工。七瓣明信片，是可以撕下來分別使用。明信片的背面，也如一般明信片，留有放地址及寫信的空間。這期的背面，我們也放了麥的另外七件雕塑，小小的圖像作為裝飾，也發展出作為在一期細小的刊物，介紹一個藝術家的完整性。
