SHUTTERLOG is a project that focuses on the rolling shutter doors found throughout Taiwan’s streetscape. Starting from the distinctive ventilation hole patterns often overlooked on shutter doors, the project explores the craftsmanship, visual language, and evolution of this everyday urban element through extensive field research, photography, and systematic visual documentation.
In addition to street observations, we visited manufacturers and factories to interview craftsmen and industry professionals about production techniques, historical changes, and stories behind the trade. We also spoke with local residents to collect personal memories and emotional connections related to rolling shutters in daily life.
Through these investigations, SHUTTERLOG seeks to rediscover the overlooked details within Taiwan’s streetscape and preserve the urban textures and collective memories that are gradually fading away.
