Pictures at an Exhibition presents images of one notable show every weekday.
Today’s show: “Line of Vision—The Photography of Wang Hsin” is on view at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum in Taipei City, Taiwan through Sunday, March 5. The solo exhibition presents work from throughout the artist’s career from the 1970s to the present.
An excerpt from the artist’s statement accompanying the exhibition:
The focus of this exhibition is completely centered on portraying the changes in Taiwanese society and the human environment, which I have recorded bit by bit over the years. Likewise, it is my hope that this exhibition will help everyone realize that the art of photography is about not just how to handle a camera, but how to look at things and understand them.
