《翻轉母職》是國際知名的台灣藝術家汪曉青首次正式出版的攝影書,收錄了兩組跨越將近二十年深具時序性與自我再現的攝影作品:「母親如同創造者」和「我的兒子和我一樣高」。這兩組作品從藝術家懷孕到兒子長大成人,將歲月化為一幅幅的珍貴作品,它承載著母子共同成長的點滴,也組構成一位母親面對自我的奮鬥史。
「母親如同創造者」曾代表國家至全球巡迴展出並多次受邀國際大展。中國的「人物」雜誌讚譽這組作品「可能是世界上最酷的母子合照」,英國國家廣播電台BBC也認定它「改變並超越了母職的陳腔濫調」,而美國的BuzzFeed News更認為這精彩且強大的照片故事將「挑戰你的世界觀」。
汪曉青以自傳體影像寫史的創意手法和創造性的理念,翻轉母親必需犧牲自我的刻版印象並重新定義母職,進而讓藝術家與母親身分從難以並存轉為融合。這兩組作品特有的創作風格,運用連環嵌套的攝影手法,以及母體為基準的身高對照方式,層層疊疊、連綿不斷地創作二十年,在當代藝術史上獨樹一格。在跨國合作下,《翻轉母職》以中英韓三語呈現,其手風琴折頁書的設計形式,可拿在手中翻閱,亦可全本展開,這讓閱讀成為如觀看展覽般,享受作品特有的時光感。
全書除了作品與創作理念介紹之外,也包含了每張照面背後的小故事,讀者除了因此領略藝術家帶來的藝術創意外,也能夠品味這長時間的母職創作背後的點滴故事。

The internationally recognized Taiwanese photographer, Annie Hsiao-Ching Wang, published her first photo book, “Reframing Motherhood.” With a series of photographs which heavily shows temporality and self-representation, the book comprises two art projects spanning over nearly two decades: “The Mother as a Creator” and “My Son and I at the Same Height.” These two projects have documented the photographer’s pregnancy and her son’s growth in the linear progression of time, turning every moment into a precious work that depicts the mother-son bond as they grow together, and writing a history of a mother in constant struggles of facing herself.
“The Mother as a Creator” has been displayed as a Taiwanese travelling exhibition and been invited to many large international exhibitions. “In these photos, Wang asserts her active role in the making of another life, reframing motherhood as a grand creative endeavor,” says The New Yorker. “Probably the coolest mother and child photo in the world,” praised by The Chinese publication Portrait Magazine. This project also garners appreciation from BBC who say the project can “change and transcend the cliché of motherhood.” BuzzFeed News from the U.S. see the series of photographs captivating in their impressive and powerful stories and say that they “will challenge your view of the world.
In order to let her two seemingly incompatible identities—being an artist and a mom at the same time—coexist, Annie Wang redefines motherhood in a creative and innovative manner of photobiography as she flips stereotypical maternal images to counter the idea that a mom must sacrifice herself. With its distinctive photography style of mise en abyme, the series of photographs has spanned over two decades and taken in a form of the son trying to stand at the same height as his mom does. Recording the trajectory of aging in each photo taken, the series is seen as an unprecedented work in contemporary art. Collaborating transnationally, “Reframing Motherhood” is printed in Mandarin, English, and Korean. Its design of an accordion fold book is constructed as an exhibition which allows readers, whether they read it with only one hand or stretch it like an accordion, to travel through photos’ temporality.
Except for the photographer’s artworks and her artist statements, there are also background stories of every single photo written in the back of them. Readers can therefore understand what the artworks bring to them as well as the narrative that represents Annie Wang’s long-term work—both as an artist and as a mom.
