Artist's Statement: Rising Discrepancies. These photographs document discrepancies in the mundane architecture of Taiwanese building blocks, which are highlighted by the nighttime panorama setting, resulting in a surreal view that oftentimes lends itself to a spectacular seemingly subjective and objective viewpoint at the same time. The subjective and objective viewpoint is further enforced by sprinkles of abstract photos dealing with light in a manner found the same way as the search for the focal points in these architectural backgrounds; everyday entities that upon entering a certain time frame, end up with elements shared by Yurei-Zu woodblock prints from several hundreds of years ago. Although Yurei-Zu prints featured phantoms and other under worldly apparitions, these contemporary conceptual photographs showcase similar elements in a Vanitas form of presentation, taking the genre into a modern day Western approach to the functions of Taiwanese society. Namely Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism make up the otherworldly ethereal facets of this outlook on Taiwanese society, instead of Shinto, Zen, and Confucianism that were the basis of Japanese society reflected in the Yurei-Zu prints. Of folklore and customs, we are here presented with a documentation in areas of underdeveloped real estate which reflect the contradictory nature of the laws governing them. Mainly the photos were gathered on very lengthy foot trails starting at midnight and ending at 7:00AM-8:00AM. Cross gridding maps of such areas of such real estate lead upon discoveries of photographic jewels which would have been lost had they not been encountered during the set time frame: as these areas of real estate are further claimed by the dense population of Taiwanese cities, such pictorial artifacts, like the Yurei-Zu prints, can and will be lost in the future of development. The relevance of these realities of warped visions are like encounters with spirits starting with the dawn of night, no physical bodies, but traces of where humans have tread and left a way of movement into the inconsistencies of the physical world. These views of an otherworld are sometimes close to being color coded by the structure of Taiwanese society, reappearing hues cement a repetition like the trails pursued to canvas a grid search. The same material elements also presume a role as photographs of architecture would reveal.
