The Shelters 避風港

digital photography, photoshop | 2020

​

​

《The Shelters》is related to another of my works《The White Cube》I made in 2018. I tried to guide the audience to perceive other objectives and the environment surrounding them, so I took off the main subject from the canvas and left a blank geometry with tiny human beings around. 


​

This time, I jumped to another material - photography and digital editing, to present different subjects. For instance, I took photos of Taipei street, realistic objects, and so on. Those photos show the places where people used to assemble or have a rest. I wondered that how the viewer redefines those sites after I hollowed them out.

回溯到2018年《白盒子》這件作品，藉由移除畫面中的「主體」、留下空白，並希望觀眾將目光轉移到客體或周遭事物上，重新定義空白中的內容為何。這次，我嘗試拍攝現實物件、台北街景等，並進行數位後製。拍攝時，我特別挑選那些曾經、暫時或依然是某群人所歇息、聚集的安全地。而我想知道，在經過「掏空、留白後」，觀看的人會以什麼樣的角度重述那些場所。
