01 To Gaze And To Look Beyond photography exhibition main visual design

To Gaze And To Look Beyond Introductions: In 2012, I attended a photographic selection which is called “to Gaze and to Look Beyond:Eyes of Formosa �, and two of my works were chosen to be displayed in Taipei, Taichung and Kaosiong, with works from 38 other well-known Taiwanese photographers.

Our works were later published in a compilation.

After the first exhibition held in Taipei National History Museum, I contacted the organizers and volunteered to host an exhibition of visual design in Taichung stock20, and Kaosiong Culture Center. The graphic design works I made included cards, brochure, poster and the exhibition introduction wall.This is the first time for me to present my graphic design to the general public. The following images are my works.

Note:

Left Image Name: I am Here Size: 80cm*40cm

Creative Concept:

A simple snapshot can easily remain a figure of a person.Thought the time and the place is totally different, the position is the same where I take the picture.the person are there,and I am here.

Card Design Content : The exhibition of “to Gaze and to Look Beyond” is trying to probe the relationship between the reality and imagination.

P h o t o g r a p h e r s f ro m n e w e r g e n e r a t i o n s followed the trace of their predecessors and presented their inside world with the use of Documentary Photography.

The invited curators, Chang Chao-Tang and Zeng Ming-Syong, selected 39 contemporary photographers known as a group named “Eyes of Formosa”. The works of the group are characterized by creativity ranging from social issues, photographic aesthetics, scenery of mind imagery, to the sarcasm of contemporary objects. The group’s photographic art works not only reflect the development in local photography and the societal changes, but also turn over a new leaf in pursuing new imaginations.

04 Let's Zine : Semicolon making and editing independent magazine

Let's Zine Making Intrduction: I developed great experience as the chief editor in “Let’s Zine: semicolon.” It is a magazine from an art space called Artqpie, mainly focus on providing space to let artist to present their works and holding lecture to the public. As the editor in chief, I hope there is a magazine can truly help young artists or writer to promote their works, because most of the artists in Taiwan have few chances to publish their works by themselves.

We want to provide this great opportunity to the artists who unaffordable to do so in most occasion, and we hope those works can be treated quite well in the publication as it be printed not just shown in small column or in the page full of advertisements. We gathered 28 Artists and their works including illustration, photography, performing art, and literature, to make them in to the “Let’s Zine: semicolon.” My responsibility was to

contact the artists and discuss with them and to organize their works of diversity to a reasonable and narrative presentation on the magazine,and throught this oppotunity I have learn some skills to use adobe indesign to help me edit . As our task team is quite small, I am also the project executor in the team, responsible for the public relations and the related exhibitions.

To me it has been a great experience and has allowed me to be involved in the graphic desig n indust r y and creat ive ind us t r y i n Taiwan, but I also realize how difficult it is to run a publication in real world. I realized that I need to learn broadly with vary stimulation from different area, not just focus on publish.

Zine note information : Size: 87mm*210mm 168 page printing paper(coating) 80p

Let's Zine Semicolon Intrduction:

""imprinted on the end of a sentence indicates finale. "ďźŒ"preceding its following words predicts the incompleteness of a discourse.

Semicolon, a part of colon, To speak or not to speak, Indecisive nature,

Vagueness, A disposition characterized by both a period and a comma, Capricious, Its attitude subject to the relation between two sentences, A seemingly ending sentence closely clinging to the following one, Sentences correlate with each other with contradiction hidden between, Like a game.

Thanks to semicolon, We began to seek for what we have in common, the mutuality we share.

Although we judge things from different viewpoints, We share the same self-evaluation standard.

Thus, we began to look for semicolons.

; We search, chew, swallow and realize that, It lies between your meal and dessert, Between ex-lover and the next romantic relationship, Between laughers and tears, Between the face and back of your boss, Between closing and opening your eyes, and the gap between expectation and result, Between emotional variations, Between day and night.

Semicolon offers us a chance to chill out, To feel the connection, difference or even cause and effect between front and back.

It reminds us to reminisce while we advance forward, Pushing us to move ahead while we linger in the glory of the past.

And so we buried the tail of semicolon into the soil as a pivot, A pivot sustaining whatever you desire.

A suitable margin is left for you, To experience and feel, and afterwards, The changing of the margin, Is left to yourself.

Let's Zine Semicolon content : 28 creatives provided all kinds of works in Let's Zine: Semicolon,which include subject like snap shop in japen, new generation illustrators' works, diet literature, exhibition space notes.

A famous old style cloth shop called a room model' work present.

Introduction: I like to use pin pen to draw and record daily thoughts in my notebook.Sometimes I also use watercolor to present the feeling of a event or a mind.

Animal is my favorite subject, especially birds which I was really fond of. So it is easy to find some elements of animal in most of my illustrations.

Guitar Painting Introduction In 2012 summer, a friend who is a signed singer known as Bun Wang asked me to paint her guitar as a performance guitar. And I agreed. After roughly thinking about the image, I started to draw the sketch , and then put the painting work into practice.

I decided to draw a bird and the wing extended with the string.When she plays the guitar, her hand is just like the flapping wing, and her song can fly without borders.

07 Hope Does Exist

Photography Project

Hope does exist Introduction: In 2011 spring , when I traveled to France and Italy , I started to carry out my photography project, which stayed in my mind for a while, called “Hope Does Exist.” This project is to ask people whom I met in my journey to write down their hopes, and let me take photos of them.

The concept came from a Taiwanese saying ” Th ough h op e is fr ail, it do es exist . ” It inspired me to collect fragments of hope and try to put them together to illustrate the contour of hope. Through this project , I not only experienced special travel but also gained numerous unforgettable stories from the participants whom I met.

If a man has a job and a home he shall be like a blooming tree, otherwise he’ll be destined to be just like a tree without brenches that dries out till.
