Circle 01

作品賞析

CHIU Kuo-Chun integrates photography with traditional Taiwanese embroidery to depict special phenomenon in Taiwanese folk beliefs. Circle 01 is a circular photographic installation depicting the temple parade culture of local Taiwanese religion that immediately immerses the audience in the unique, mythical world of street temple associations. A double-sided embroidery technique is used to integrate traditional religious craft into the photograph, adding a magical touch to an already surreal moment. CHIU Kuo-Chun’s photographs reflect the unique landscape of Taiwanese temple culture with its brilliant festivities and celebrations while highlighting the emptiness of people living in the modern society.
