Abstract
The exhibition TIME: The Images of Chang Chao-Tang, 1959-2013 grandly held at the
Taipei Fine Arts Museum in 2013 opened up new possibilities for reinterpreting Chang Chaotangs image aesthetics. The venue not only brought Changs magnum opus into spotlight,
but also presented a large number of his random notes and reflections on photography. This
exhibition enabled us to review the creative constellation that consists of the practical results
achieved by the documents originally defined as peripherals and the photographs always
been regarded as the core. To wit, many mutual-mapping and resonating elements exist amidst
Changs written texts and photographic practice, and Chang successfully wove these elements
into a virtual and invisible image plane. It implies that we can never gain a full picture of
Changs image aesthetics merely from his static photographs or experimental films. If his
texts and images are essentially complementary to each other, the other critical component of
Changs image aesthetics lies consequentially in the non-image writing that has not yet been
actualized into real images, since his texts are as highly contagious as his photographs.
This essay treats Changs efforts in developing a formal language of photography as the point
of departure, from which it investigates the spiritualized subject embedded in Changs image
aesthetics. By means of seeking to pioneer an analytic approach to Changs ref lections on
photography, this essay extends the scope of discussion to the specific space created through
the interplay and resonance between Changs written texts and photographs. The genres of
Changs creation encompass static photograph, mixed media, installation, and experimental
film. Therefore, we can make a holographic map of the interesting texture of Changs image
aesthetics only by exploring the blocs of sensation in his works of different genres.
