作品賞析

Photographer CHANG Liang-I grows up in a farming family. He records the changes of Taiwanese rural villages through his lens for years. He captures the passing away landscape for the age. In his work Farmer, he takes a black and white picture of famers who are busy removing the husk after harvesting the rice shoots. He records the scene of farmers operating the traditional thresher on the farm. There is no surplus exaggerative composition. The artist presents the realistic figures of farmers who work diligently in the burning sunshine. CHANG Liang-I tries to represent the simple value of the rural life in order to inspire people to guard and treasure the land, so that the relationship between the land and people will be rebuilt. He hopes officials and managers of businesses take a look at these farmers who work hard for daily life.
