Each Modern is pleased to present five photographic artists — Teng NanKuang, Chang Chao-Tang, Liu Chen-Hsiang, Wu MeiChi, and Lan Chung-Hsuan — tracing the development of Taiwanese photography from the postwar period to the present. Together, their works explore Taiwan's distinctive visual language through historical memory, social realities, political experience, and contemporary cultural reflections.
Teng NanKuang and Chang Chao-Tang establish the historical foundation of this presentation. Through depictions of everyday life and ordinary people, Teng documents the social landscape and collective sentiments of postwar Taiwan. Chang, meanwhile, combines philosophical reflection with humanistic concerns, capturing the transformations of Taiwanese society through images situated between documentary realism and poetic expression.
Liu Chen-Hsiang's work documents Taiwan's social transformations over the past three decades, exploring the relationship between the body, collective action, and the intersections of documentary photography and performance. Wu MeiChi approaches photography through colour still life, abstraction, and studio experimentation, examining the relationships between light, objects, space, and consumer culture. Lan Chung-Hsuan addresses death, a subject traditionally regarded as taboo in Chinese-speaking societies, through staged photographic scenes of imagined deaths, drawing upon European pictorial traditions to investigate mortality, representation, and cultural perception.
Bringing these five artists together, Each Modern seeks to highlight the complexity and vitality of Taiwanese photography across generations. Spanning history, the body, politics, and memory, this presentation introduces Taiwan's cultural experiences and contemporary artistic perspectives into an international dialogue.
