Ian - 50BOYS

/Walking through the streets of Taipei,
Between the business district and many high-rise buildings,
I found an iron door ajar.
After pushing it,
By litter into the trunk of a mixed completely chaotic winter scene toward us.

I'm extremely fortunate but unfortunate,he did not say it : the winter almost gone./


『Ian』is one of the series in my project “50BOYS” which began since early 2015.

As a female photographer to be, I exist for destroy everything were domesticated in Taipei.

I choose strange males from dating app, Facebook and friend of friendsʻ (who I barely
knew) as object.

I ask boys to walking around their home then stay in their sleeping room,
break into their daliy life and comfort zone as a stranger,
observe the desire and the survival of human being.
To me, it’s like into the wild.

I'm one of the people who build up Taipei,
how to express my love and pain to the city in my way - unstoppably, deeply, to prickle
everything happened on this land.

The more people I took, the stronger I can feel that Taipei, Taiwan is the roots of all my
creation and work.

/漫步在台北街頭
眾多高樓大廈林立間的商業區
我發現一扇半掩的鐵門
推開它後
由枯枝樹幹交雜成完完全全混亂的冬日情景撲向我們---

我何其幸運又何其不幸,
他沒說出來的是:冬天就要過完了。/

"Ian"是我從2015年開始的"50BOYS"計畫中的一個系列。
選擇男性作為拍攝對象,以一個女性攝影師的存在,破壞被台北豢養的一切。
從交友app、facebook、朋友的朋友中找到的男生,幾乎都是第一次見面的陌生人。

我和他們慢慢走到住所附近,然後待在他們的臥房,
對我來說是in to the wild,
亂入他們熟悉安適的圈子,觀察人類的生存和慾望。

我也是組成這城市的其中一人,
不能停下來地、更深入地、去刺探這一切,
正是我對它表達愛意的方式。

拍了越多人們,我越能強烈感覺到我的創作扎根於台北,我的國家台灣。
