Farmer 1990

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 taking a break after diligent work. In the image, the farmer wears white undershirt and ties a floral towel used for wiping sweat on the neck. The dark face shows a steady and peaceful expression and presents the simplicity of farmers. 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.
