看海的地方
By 徐至宏貓慢慢走過，燕子停駐在電線上。畫家期待著一場雨的降臨。海水輕輕地來回晃蕩，釣魚的阿伯猛力拉起空無一物的釣竿，女孩靠在欄杆上看著落日，海風吹來，漁船慢慢的駛離，這些都是屬於漁港夏日，魔幻的片刻。 台灣是一個海島，我們的家離海那麼近，但對許多人來說，漁港既親近又陌生。關於漁港的一天，又是怎樣的開始與結束?圖文創作者徐志宏，在基隆正濱漁港駐村後，創作了這本以漁港日常為基調的《看海的地方》。 以畫家、釣客與遊客三個最常出現在海港邊的角色出發，結合圖像小說的手法，用極為簡短的文字，勾勒出這三者不同的視角。全書既有大跨頁的全景，也有漫畫式的分割畫面，帶領讀者從寫實走進抽象，從抽象又走回日常。 插畫家、散步的女孩、釣魚的阿北、貓與燕子，他們或許緊張、或許閒散，或許無為，這些尋常的片刻與情緒，串聯出一個屬於漁港的獨特的安靜時間。
