Nowhere in Taiwan by I-Hsuen Chen
Nowhere in Taiwan, a selection of photographs I-Hsuen Chen made while traveling through his native country in the summer of 2011. Influenced by the idea of the “road trip” in American photography, exemplified in the work of such photographers as Robert Frank, Stephen Shore, and Joel Sternfeld, the artist sets out to find scenes and situations that seem to be “in between,” neither landscape nor cityscape but existing in an ambiguous space so called “nowhere.” Some of these sites are suburban, or partly urbanized, or abandoned and left behind. The aspect of location that interests him most has to do with the traces of human presence and gesture that reside or remain. In search of nowhere, he look for unexpected instances of intimacy, so that there is a sense of “nowhere” being unveiled.
Nowhere，遍尋無處。
