'Projecting Tsai Ming-liang Towards Transart Cinema is the first monograph in Chinese analyzing Tsai's dramas and video installation. Through an introduction, three sessions and a conclusion, the book elaborates topics on Tsai's various forms of visual experiment, spatial alternation and transformation of creator's identity, including: (i) transition from television to film industry; (ii) transformation of videos from realism to aesthetic forms; (iii) development from trans-boundary films to contemporary art; (iv) connection between cinema and art museum; (v) interrelation of identity of film director and artist. These topics highlight the contemporary relations between the definitions of film as a time-based motion picture and a trans-boundary practice, and its artistic value. The session "Interview with Tsai Ming-liang" provides an in-depth discussion on the director's experience from the debut until today, his visual production in different periods and film as a popular culture, an elite art and a contemporary art paradigm. The book aims at spotting the uniqueness of Tsai's works, which is the insistence on elaborating the boundary among different visual art fields, while standing all tests of modernist aesthetics criticisms, the death of film and the emergence of visual art.' - translated from book flap.

'《入鏡｜出境：蔡明亮的影像藝術與跨界實踐》是第一本剖析蔡明亮的劇情影片及其影像裝置的中文專著。本書透過導論、三大章節及結論闡釋蔡氏涉及各種影像試驗、空間變換，乃及創作者身分轉型的論題：（一）從電視界進入電影界、（二）影片從寫實主義到造形美學的轉變、（三）從電影跨界到當代藝術、（四）從電影院到美術館的連結、（五）從電影導演到藝術家身分的互連，藉此凸顯電影作為一種以時間為基礎的動態影像、跨界實踐及藝術性等命題的當代關係。書中〈訪問蔡明亮〉分項針對導演從出道迄今，各個時期的影像創作，及電影作為大眾文化、高雅藝術與當代藝術範式等議題進行深入訪問。本書希冀指出蔡明亮作品的獨樹一格，在於始終堅持不懈地於各種影像邊界與藝術場域上展演著，且同時歷經了電影現代主義美學觀、電影之死、影像藝術洗禮等層層考驗。' - 轉自摺頁。
