凝視著他們，同時看到了那個未曾經歷的時代；
那些並未親自見證的人生，於敘述的過程，逐漸凝聚成延續的風景。
在交錯的身影中，我彷彿看見了自己的表情。
本書共訪談了三十七位台灣中生代藝術家。
書寫出他們因創作而不平凡的人生，以及因際遇而淬煉出的透徹思維；
而他們獨特的生命史，拼湊出的是台灣半個世紀以來的文化風景與時代輪廓。
內容除了文字，同時搭配藝術家的照片——這些在採訪當中進行的跟拍攝影，
讓讀者得以親睹藝術品背後，屬於創作者的獨特身影與姿態。
在本書中，人物是鏡頭的關注所在，他們的生命際遇是主要的情節；
而過去經常被當成論述主題的藝術作品，於此換位成為描寫藝術家故事的背景，
透過如此編寫的角度，我們得以細膩的感受，並真切的理解，
藝術家內在的喜怒哀樂與悲欣交集。
