And in the Taiwan group, I was able to choose people closer to my intentions as there are fine artists, commercial photographers, a photojournalist and a cinematographer -- a wide genre.
Commercial photographer Yu Hung-Tsiang's (游宏祥) floating bottle really stands out. That piece is the most technically intricate, with multiple layers photographed with digital and traditional film and all put together seamlessly.
TT: The photos are not displayed on the walls but in cases, along with reading stations with headphones and texts.
YW: Experiencing the image is part of the meaning of the work. If we count from the time we wake up to the time we go to bed, we probably experience photography in a hundred different ways.
TT: Photography is a fast medium, but your show is very slow.
YW: I like the story behind images and to see the photos slowed down. That is why there are 41 texts by writers, sound artists and photographers. I see it as people telling different stories about where they are from.
