Artwork Appreciation
TENG Po-Jen’s photographic works Lost – Time series are wide, black and white shots that depict the diverse and complicated aspects of Taipei City. Le Temps Perdu/ Breathe-Dry Air shows a street corner with 2 young boys playing basketball at a court, a place where they would have fun after school. Their small statures were further accentuated by the large basketball hoop. The ball court appeared to have been converted from an empty plot of land in the neighborhood, with interesting artworks painted on the wall. TENG Po-Jen enjoys capturing fleeting moments from the streets of Taipei when working or relaxing, creating works that offer a poetic perspective of the metropolitan landscape.
