Chang, En-Man Born in Taitung, Taiwan. Lives and works in Taipei.
At the beginning, the artist’s identity triggered her aspirations to embark on a journey across the island. Through the returning visit to the aboriginal tribes and experiencing the social geographical texture of the locale, the artist attempted at unearthing the complex food chain-like interconnections of the locale in order to portray its cultural landscape. Under the dissolving borders caused by globalization and the ideological mechanisms of the dominant culture, the artist’s body shifts and strikes via guerrilla tactics within these physical boundaries in the contemplation of a reality reflected by society, and presents these matters within her artworks as well. Whilst engaging in the mapping of a self spiritual realm, the artist also attempts at expanding the overall figuration of the community or the world, and explores how art can become a force for transformation in the process.
