Luminophore is a photobook by Taiwanese artist, Sim Chang.
While Sim Chang’s incredible series photobook Luminophone can be outlined in relatively simple terms — models, immersed into the surrounding scenery, hide their faces behind portable screens — the results are astonishing. Roughly split into several parts, the book first offers a series of portrait-like situations using anime-characters’ faces to move on to wider shots of Taiwan’s landscapes and models with less expressive poses (incidentally using completely blank screens).

ARTIST STATEMENT
To a generation raised under the flicker of computer monitors, the screen reflects the transformations of one’s state of mind. It is a vessel for the virtual world and holds a part of one’s soul. — Sim Chang
