作品記錄的是一個偶而會去散步的地方,常常一路走到前不久才開的商場,這是一個正在建設中的區域,參雜著各樣進行開發的工程,雖然已經有不少完工建築,但在預售屋時期就已經被衝高的房價,使得活動的人口跟完成的房子還在很大的反差當中,平日你能夠在這些地方自由的穿梭幾乎不受到人或是車子的干擾。
我想觀察一個開發中的城市區域,即將要成為上萬人的生活場域,城市地景就像人工的建物與已被框定開發的自然景觀相互映照。不管是開發完成的新建築、隨處可見的售屋廣告看板、因為過度炒房仍然空曠的街道、依舊農作的土地或者是開發的痕跡,城市中各樣該具備的物件混雜在自然當中形成暫時的地景,在不斷的發展下,這樣的景象是到處都有可能出現的。
City Landscape documents a developing neighbourhood that is currently undergoing urban renewal in Taiwan. Capturing the temporary landscape and those familiar but often overlooked places, traces.

I also made the work into a photobook version
