Nancy/Chiayi

作品賞析

TSAO Chun visual works focus on the connection between “loss” and “memory.” TSAO Chun uses photography to resurrect scenes that are about to disappear from history and become part of our memories. In Nancy / Chiayi, TSAO Chun photographed 2 cities – the French city of Nancy and the Taiwanese city of Chiayi. Although the two cities are thousands of miles apart, the photographs have depicted both cities as shrouded in fog. Viewers may discover that the detailed cityscapes of the two photographs are different, but the same composition, tones, and size of the photograph generate a sense of familiarity between these two cities. TSAO Chun believes that there are connections between “loss” and “memory,” and hopes to use these two seemingly similar photographs to build connections between two landscapes that would otherwise be completely unrelated. This, TSAO Chun hopes, will help people preserve items and events that once exist within their memories.
