Sculpture and photography, the two entirely different art forms, are both essentially a visual language. Sculpture materializes visual objects from physical space while photography represents the visual image of memories. Nevertheless, in comparison to the amount of studies dedicated to painting in the field of Taiwan Art History, sculpture and photography are two visual mediums that have received less critical attention. There is barely any research built on the perspective of connecting these two distinctive art forms. However, the artistic value created by“incorporating”these two art forms is one of the important puzzles which should not be ignored for Taiwan Art History. To bridge this gap in the academic discussions, this article aims to connect sculpture and photography, these two singular visual art forms, to analyze how they complete or coordinate, compromise or reinforce each other in visual presentations for the viewers. To achieve this purpose, this article examines how Ju Ming’s sculptures were presented and transmitted to the public in the 1970s by reportage, a medium combining verbal composition and visual presentation of photography, from the perspective of shooting sculpture. In different photographic works of diverse photographers, this research analyzes not only Ju Ming’s sculptures but also the process of shooting sculpture. To overcome the limit of shooting a three- dimensional artwork, what kind of compromise or recreation did the photographer make in order to present the distinctive art value of two- dimensional? As a means of answering the precedent questions, the research analyzes the archives of newspaper reportages and Taiwanese magazines, such as the Echo, about Ju Ming in the 1970s. Through this research, it will not only have a sight of Taiwanese sculpture’s modern evaluation and the photographic reportage’s development in Taiwan but also find out how Ju Ming’s sculpture and its images were formed to respond to the society being from the movement of Nativism to the contemporary. |
