關於傻瓜書日
傻瓜書日 Fotobook DUMMIES Day 由劉兆慈與林君燁組成，於 2018 年 5 月成立於台北，專注於策畫以影像與自出版為核心的展覽、活動與討論，定期舉辦同名攝影藝術書展，聚集以書作為載體、影像為媒介的創作者。近年來致力於東南亞攝影書與自出版的書寫計畫，2022 年與朋丁 pon ding 共同出版《熱帶島讀：攝影書與自出版》。
傻瓜書日攝影藝術書展聚焦於「影像」、「自出版」及「社群」，舉辦過三屆攝影藝術書展，於酒吧、青年旅館和獨立書店等場地，將非典型空間轉換成凝聚自出版社群的能量場。
2023 年，第四屆傻瓜書日攝影藝術書展將在 12 月 15、16、17 日於台灣當代文化實驗場（C-LAB）舉行，歡迎攝影小誌（photozine）、攝影樣書（dummy book）、藝術家的書（artists’ book）、攝影書（photobook），攝影理論、文集與雜誌，以及更多不同的攝影出版形式，也歡迎海外創作者報名，歡迎做著傻瓜書（dummy book）的傻瓜們（dummies）一同參與！
當代影像裡的當代是什麼，我們正在做的、回應的就可以是當代。如果你也想讀，大家自己做的、關於我們世代的影像書，歡迎光臨傻瓜書日。

About Fotobook DUMMIES Day
Fotobook DUMMIES Day, founded by Liu Chao-tze and Lin Junye, is an artist-led initiative focusing on photobooks and self-publishing since 2018, currently based in Taipei, Taiwan.
First established as a photobook fair, with the aim of gathering artists who work with images and self-publishing, Fotobook DUMMIES Day experiments with these two mediums as a curatorial basis for exhibitions, events and artist talks.
Expanding the scope of the conversation further, Fotobook DUMMIES Day began an extensive field research project in Southeast Asia in 2019. In May 2022, Tropical Reading: Photobook and Self-Publishing was co-published by Fotobook DUMMIES Day and pon ding. This project is still ongoing.
Fotobook DUMMIES Day focuses on "images," "self-publishing," and "community." It has held three editions of the photobook fair, transforming alternative spaces — a bar, a youth hostel, and an independent bookstore — into a temporary gathering place for the self-publishing community.
Fotobook DUMMIES Day 2023 will be held from December 15 to 17 at C-LAB (Taiwan Contemporary Culture Lab). This fourth edition of the fair includes photozines, dummy books, artists' books, photobooks, photo-text books and other forms of publication. Overseas exhibitors are welcome!
We extend a warm invitation to all artists, collectives, independent publishers, bookshops, and many more, to gather under one roof!
