早年農業社會久久才理一次頭髮,男士理髮五步驟:剪髮→掏耳垢→洗頭→刮鬍鬚→最後吹風抹髮油,一整套流程耗時約一小時以上,當今快速步調已不易見到;家鄉嬸婆七十多歲依然持髮剪為客人服務,上門的都是鄉親,坐上陳年理髮椅,瞇起眼睛享受上等服務,此慢活式理髮公訂價200元;替人理髮目的不再是金錢而是與人互動閒話家常的親近感。在家鄉看到此傳統式理髮彷彿時光倒轉,於是我用黑白影像來表現,吻合早年農業社會時代背景。

 

In Taiwan’s earlier agrarian society, men would visit the barber only once in a great while. If a man went to the barber, it would be a five-part process: cutting, ear cleaning, hair washing, shave, hair drying and styling with oil. The whole process was took a lot of time, often taking more than an hour. These days in our faster-paced lives, these traditional barber shops are not often seen. The hometown aunties over seventy years of age are still providing these services, though. Those that come for a hair cut are mostly relatives or neighbors, who sit in the barber chair and close their eyes to enjoy these fine services. These slow life haircuts were publically priced at TWD 200. The purpose of these alternative hair services are not for making money but to bring people closer together through interacting and chatting about everyday life and family matters. Seeing these traditional barber shops took me back in time, which is why I have used black and white images to convey the subject matter, which better suits the images earlier agrarian society era background.
