Ueda Shoji

Week 3- Managed to catch the retrospective of Ueda Shoji 植田正治逝世20年紀念回顧展 Ueda Shoji：Retrospective. I love his passion and determination, when he first took up photography darkroom, it was as though he built everything in his own little way. Didnt care much for the perfection, but sought to find the soul in his art. The deepest emotion I felt were his series right after the war in 1945. His family and the undying support and encouragement from his wife. After her passing, all I could see was his loneliness in his pictures.

Week 3— Squeezed in a visit to the great people at 竹圍工作室 Bamboo Curtain Studio, thanks Fiona for showing me around. First and oldest residency program in Taiwan! imagine that!

Week 2-3— Some thrift antique stores (thanks shih-tung), but my favourite was this antique space that took such care and passion in cleaning, documenting and archiving their old books and artefacts. I found these old prints there. Forgot the name of the store, but i told and brought all my friends there!

LS project, Taipei– Week 2-3 Noise

Week 2-3— Recently I've been very much intrigued by the sound movement 'noise', I find it interesting in its approach, its 'anti-structure' to the concept of music, much like anarchy of music. I've managed to do some test portraits during their festival 萬車券之夜 Vol.1.5. in the chaos of the space, the packing and layout of the machines. beautiful and warm people under all the noise. Thanks everyone!

Came here twice, but still havent had enough time to fully explore the area, paved walkways, with stairs and railings, a great parkway

Week 2-3— Visited ONFOTO STUDIO a special space dedicated purely to the art of photography and prints. Beautiful space, and works, one-of-the-kind prints, workshops, exhibition space.
