The vanishing Portraits  -  Turkey

2014

我感興趣的是空間的變化過程如何影響人的心理，藉由拍攝不同城市及歷史文化脈絡中傾頹、無人居住的房屋，將逐漸崩壞破敗的建築空間與人之情感記憶作聯結。這系列的攝影，是由不同的透視點和時間點拍攝同一個對象物後，再將這些大量的影像重新組合起來，成為一個壓縮時間、具有紀念碑式美感的空間場所。

土耳其
伊斯坦堡：
這是一座位於歐亞交界，被海一分為二、曾歷經無數戰爭及政權更替的城市，繁華榮耀的帝國如今已衰頹，在近代的西化政策下快速改變了這座城市。這裡的街道上充滿奇妙的景像：繁華的區域之間隨處可見破敗的房屋及廢墟和貧困窮苦的生活，各種文化和生活型態交織成這個複雜、衝突但始終充滿生命力的大城市。

What interests me is how spatial transformation affects human psychology. By shooting abandoned, uninhabited buildings in different cities, historical and cultural contexts, I connect the collapsing architectural spaces and people's emotional memories. This photograph series is a huge collage of images on the same object shooting from different perspectives and time slots. It becomes a space with compressed time and aesthetics of monumental style.

Turkey
Istanbul:
It is a city located at the junction of Europe and Asia, divided into two by the sea. Experiencing through countless wars and regime changes, the once glorious empire has already fallen. The westernize policies of modern times have changed the city rapidly. Magical scenes happen on the streets: broken houses, ruins and poor lives coexist within prosperous regions. Various cultures and life styles are woven into this majestic city which is complex, conflicting but always vigorous.
