Student of Elementary School on the Wall

作品賞析

T.J. Chiang’s Student of Elementary School on the Wall is part of his Taiwan’s Panorama series. He uses panoramic, wide angle photography techniques to capture sceneries around Taiwan.The landscape featured in the composition was taken from Banqiao Train Station. Portraits of primary school students are lined up along the wall as sculptures. Color has been removed from every element within the photograph, leaving only vivid red hues on several statues at the center that form a stark contrast against the black and white tones of the rest of the picture. T.J. Chiang uses unique visuals, arrangements, and aesthetics to remove color from photographs, and aligns actual and virtual elements together for the purpose of depicting the various phenomena of this island.
