National Center of Photography holds Taiwan-France photography exhibition
2025-10-03
We now turn to a photography exhibition featuring Taiwanese and French artists, exploring the evolving relationship between land, urban environments, and visions of the future. FTV reporter Stephany Yang has the details.
This room features works by Taiwanese artist Yao Jui-chung alongside French artists Éric Tabuchi and Nelly Monnier. Yao documents statues of deities across Taiwan, using them as a lens to examine urban complexities of modern life. In contrast, Tabuchi and Monnier journeyed through France to depict unofficial administrative zones. Their works delve into the effects of modernity and climate change, highlighting shared challenges faced by both Taiwan and France.

This room is very interesting for us because the key point of this exhibition because we are seeking to fusion all together landscapes from France and from Taiwan, and putting an emphasis on the fact that also, France and Taiwan are very different historical background, socio-econimic development. The impact of modernity and climate change have also changes their scenery and landscape in a common way. In that room, we are trying to fuse the different French and Taiwanese landscapes in order to create the impression that we are facing the same challenge.
Another room showcases works by Alain Bublex, Frédéric Delangle, and Chou Ching-hui. Delangle questions the conventional portrayal of the French capital by sharing his photographs with artists from Taiwan, India, and Colombia. These artists drew on the photographs and reimagined the images through the lens of their own urban experiences, blending their local perspectives with French cityscapes.

This room is about the city, the everyday city as a living environment. Those artists in that room are questioning the everyday environment through the questions of economic performance, modernity, over-modernity or over performance. The French artist is providing a large format black and white low contrast photography to Taiwanese students that has been asked to redraw on that photo, to repaint Taiwan’s visual urban cultures that we have in Taipei every day.
Another room features works by Elina Brotherus and Shen Chao-liang. Their works explore landscape photography and issues such as national identity, pollution, and overdevelopment.

Elina Brotherus is using her own body to confront the classic definition of landscape with a romantic touch, challenging the notion of modernity which pushes men towards modernity development and to control and define landscapes. Shen Chao-liang is having a very beautiful approach to Taiwanese landscape, which is also putting into question some questions that Taiwan is facing within its fate, like national identity, pollution, overdevelopment.
The exhibition titled “Vanités Modernes" features works by 19 Taiwanese and French contemporary photographers. The exhibit will be on show at the National Center of Photography and Images until Nov. 23.

「虛空之境」展 用攝影探索台法領土與都市
2025-10-03
「虛空之境：當代攝影中的領土與都市凝視」展覽，橫跨臺灣與法國的視覺旅程，透過兩國的藝術家，以攝影的角度，探索土地、都市環境與未來想像之間不斷演變的關係。
此展間展出臺灣藝術家姚瑞中與法國藝術家埃里克‧塔布奇及內莉‧莫尼耶的作品。姚瑞中以臺灣各地的神像為題材，透過鏡頭探索現代都市生活的複雜性。相較之下，塔布奇與莫尼耶則走訪法國各地，描繪"自然區域"，非官方卻承載共同文化遺產的地域。他們的作品深入探討現代化與氣候變遷所帶來的影響，突顯臺灣與法國共同面臨的挑戰。

"這個展間相當有趣，因為它是本次展覽的核心。我們希望將法國與臺灣的風景融合在一起，並強調兩地在歷史背景與社會經濟發展上的差異。儘管如此，現代化與氣候變遷所帶來的影響，卻以相似的方式改變了兩地的景觀。在這個空間中，我們嘗試將法國與臺灣的風景交織融合，營造出我們正面臨相同挑戰的感覺。"
另一個展間，展出阿蘭‧比布萊克斯、弗雷德里克‧德朗格與周慶輝的作品。德朗格的創作同樣顛覆了巴黎既有的再現形式。他邀請來自印度、哥倫比亞與臺灣的藝術家，透過繪畫介入自身的攝影作品，以藝術家自身的都市經驗為基礎，重新詮釋這些影像，將其在地視角融入法國城市風貌之中。

"這個展間聚焦於城市，日常生活中的城市作為一種生存環境。展間中的藝術家們透過對經濟表現、現代性、過度現代化或過度表現等議題的探討，質疑我們的日常環境。一位法國藝術家提供了一幅大尺寸、黑白、低對比度的攝影作品給臺灣學生，並邀請他們在照片上重新繪製，重新描繪我們在臺北日常所見的視覺城市文化。"
下一個展間，展出艾莉娜‧布羅瑟魯斯與沈昭良的作品。他們以風景攝影為媒介，探討國族認同、環境污染與過度開發等議題。

"艾莉娜‧布羅瑟魯斯以她自身的身體作為媒介，帶著浪漫的筆觸挑戰傳統風景的定義，質疑現代性所帶來的衝動，驅使人類不斷追求現代化發展，並試圖掌控與定義自然景觀。沈昭良則以細膩且富有美感的方式呈現臺灣風景，同時也反思臺灣所面臨的命運課題，例如國家認同、環境污染與過度開發等問題。"
「虛空之境：當代攝影中的領土與都市凝視」展覽，匯集了19位臺灣與法國當代攝影藝術家的創作。於國家攝影文化中心展出至11月23日。
