Master of Photography Art:Liang-yi Chang
Exhibition Place:Lushun Road in Hsichou Township
Name of Exhibition:Standing in the Field

Art Appreciation

 　　Looking at both sides of the road, the original rice ears have become the harvest. The works of the master are furnished on the road where farmers pass by everyday, which makes it feel like it is “standing in the field.” Being in such a cool and picturesque atmosphere, it is a great enjoyment, to everyone.

Creation Opportunity ~ Growing up in the Countryside And Standing up for the Countryside

 　　It is not the first outdoor photography exhibition of the master; he has held one in Danshui beforehand. He chose farmers as the theme, mainly because, in his youth, “[he] lived near a large farmland. Since young, [he] has seen farmers that work very hard but still appreciate the life. When growing up, [he] made a decision to speak for the wordlessly dedicated farmers by taking photos of them.”

Purpose of the Works

 　　The master said, “The exhibition doesn’t have to be at a formal location. It gives more feeling with each photo in the field.” He hopes the busy farmers stop by to enjoy the photos, for he wants to show his respect to the rice-growing farmers with the photos. To him, every photo he shoots has a rhythm, which can hardly be expressed with words. The master visited many scenic places in Taiwan, and captured these memories to fulfill his dream profoundly.　

Afterthoughts

    Through the visit, we discovered that there are people who deeply love the place and wordlessly cultivate it. They hope more and more people will join them to support the lovely hometown. The childhood memory might not be the best, but can be the most profound one. In the childhood memory, we find the true hometown. Let us unite to protect the land where we live in!
