Twenty-nine-year-old Wu Chien-wei is a man of two identities.
One, a rising young star of Taiwanese dance.
The other, a cutting-edge photographer with a unique eye.
In artistic terms, dance is an observed art, photography an observing one.
Wu navigates between the two, forming a unique, poetic photographic style.
He shoots a variety of subjects in a variety of styles with an almost musical sense of rhythm and movement, like a dance on a different stage, fabulous and warm.
Inspired by the “selfie” phenomenon, Wu’s works expand the focus,
proving that even one’s arms, legs, or toes can be just as enticing as one’s face.
Me: I lie in the sunlight in a gardened walkway, among the sprawling flowers.
Strolling: I have to hide amongst the crowd to catch my subjects at their most natural, before they notice me.
Poppies: Sitting on the floor at home, I think of how poppies represent hope and forgetting....
Touch: Step by step, gesture by gesture, movements trace out the shape of a role.
Bougainvillea: A breeze blows through an alley in Taipei, gently blowing petals to the ground. The petals form a line around the parked scooters like a beautiful brocade lost in time.
Rooms for Rent: Where do you want to start your new life?
Rose Red: For those who are gone, but not forgotten.
Unnamed: Only in the faint light of dawn can we see petals so pure as to be almost transparent, posing beautifully in the tranquility of the new day.
