捷克攝影藝術家Dita Pepe自1999年起展開其代表性系列作品《Self-Portraits》，透過角色扮演與他人共同入鏡的攝影創作，以作品深入探討身份及環境的流動與建構。本系列歷時二十餘年，拍攝足跡遍及捷克共和國、奧地利、德國、波蘭、義大利、日本及非洲，從與女性一起拍攝的自拍照開始，並擴展至男性和家人的自拍照，累積逾百幅作品。2025年，Dita Pepe首度來到臺灣，在為期三週的駐村創作期間進行拍攝，作為《Self-Portraits》系列作品的重要延伸。《Self-Portraits》拍攝計畫持續擴大，預計在2026年，亦將納入於西班牙拍攝的新作，擴展其國際對話的維度。
《Self-Portraits》系列藉由藝術家與被攝者共同構築的影像場景，呈現個體身份與文化背景交織而成的多重面貌。Dita Pepe試圖指出，人的身份深受出生地、歷史時空、文化語境與人際關係所形塑；然而，透過與他者的相遇與靠近，我們亦得以獲得關於生活方式與價值觀的嶄新靈感。展覽不僅是影像的呈現，更是一場關於脆弱性、共感與親密經驗的深層對話。

而促成此計畫在臺灣實施的契機，是來自好地下藝術空間藝術總監／東華大學教授田名璋的邀請，參與「好地下藝術空間年度藝術家駐村計畫」，本次藝術家駐留計畫由地下好藝術空間與捷克中心臺北合作進行，捷克中心臺北負責Dita Pepe在台北的短期駐村與攝影計畫，拍攝下臺北與花蓮兩地不同的建築、生活方式及生活於此的人們。本計畫由地下好藝術空間主辦，捷克中心臺北作為官方合作夥伴與聯合主辦單位，同時獲得國家文化藝術基金會與富士軟片捷克分公司的贊助支持。
展覽呈現Dita Pepe自1999年以來持續發展的《Self-Portraits》作品，涵蓋於臺灣（臺北與花蓮地區）拍攝的最新作品。藉由橫跨不同文化與地域的影像對話，本展邀請觀眾重新思考自我與他者的關係，以及我們如何在變動不居的世界中形塑自己的存在。
藝術家特別感謝所有參與拍攝的朋友，感謝他們的信任與陪伴，讓這段短暫卻深刻的相遇得以化為影像，成為珍貴的共同記憶。

The long-term series Self-Portraits of Dita Pepe, which deals with questions of identity, has been expanded by a series of portraits in Taiwan. The Self-Portrait project has been in progress since 1999. It includes over 100 photographs taken in the Czech Republic, Austria, Germany, Poland, Italy, Japan, and Africa. The resulting photographs from Taiwan were created during a period of three weeks this year. In 2026, this project will be expanded to include photographs from Spain. Through this work, she aims to highlight the fragility and perception of who we are. That we are largely determined by the time, place, culture, and relationships into which we are born. However, we can find inspiration for other life concepts through encounters and getting closer to other people. In sharing intimacy, listening, and developing mutual empathy.
The impulse for initiating the realization of the project in Taiwan came from an invitation of Ming-Chang Tien, Art director of Good Underground Art Space and Professor of National Dong Hwa University. Within the framework of an artist residency from Good Underground Art Space. The Artist
