「形隨機能」——當建築師遵循這一基本原則之際，藝術家書籍作為另一種藝術形式，又應該遵循怎樣的「功能」？它的設計該呼應藝術家想傳遞的主觀訊息，還是應整理成易於被讀者翻頁理解的敘事？又或是將兩者融合成統一的整體？

這場由WMA林彥鋒帶領的閱讀工作坊，將邀請參與者翻閱一系列WMA參考圖書館的精選藝術家攝影書，探索上述的題目。參與者將研究書中的有形元素的設計（如字體、文字和圖像的佈局）如何承載藝術家的創作意念，以及無形元素（如留白、平衡和內容順序）如何促進閱讀體驗。工作坊強調書籍本身的形式在敘事上的關鍵性，使參與者能夠以非線性的方式積極與書籍互動，從而與其建立起親密的個人聯繫。

“Form follows function.” While architects adhere to this timeless principle, what “function” should artist books follow as an art form? Should their design respond to the artist’s personal expression, organise a digestive experience for readers, or blend both into a unified whole?

This reading workshop, led by Frank Lam from WMA, invites participants to explore these questions by browsing a curated selection of photographic artist books from WMA's reference library. Participants will examine how the design of tangible elements—such as typography and the layout of text and imagery—supports the artist's intent, and how intangible elements—like white space, balance, and content sequencing—facilitate an engaging reading experience. The workshop highlights the critical role of the book’s form in storytelling, enabling participants to interact actively with the content in a non-linear manner and fostering a personal and intimate connection with the visual narratives.
