Wu Tien Chang "Asian Traces"
Soho Photo Gallery
This event has ended.
Soho Photo Gallery presents Asian Traces, an exhibition of photographic portfolios created in Asia. Guest photographer Wu Tien-Chang, internationally acclaimed Taiwanese photographer, will exhibit his portfolio entitled Shock Shot, consisting of photographs that are mysterious, hilarious, weird and haunting. His is a surreal world of offbeat atmosphere illuminated by unnatural hues with beings who are always grinning, ride bicycles and pose as circus queens in dream-like sets. His figures are elaborately dressed in sparkly, tinseled brocades in the gaudy style popular in both Taiwan and China. Although the elaborately costumed figures are wounded, blind or missing limbs, that does not inhibit their lipsticked smiles.
Wu’s painterly photographs are set in classical compositional arrangements that are voluptuous and compelling, although specifically ambiguous. They are outspoken in a theatrically absurd form that suggests the antics of political and social life.
