The installation entitled, Street Stories: A Taiwan Interview Project, is a randomized, non-linear documentary that intertwines interviews of people working on the streets Taiwan to portraits of the landscape, physiology and texture that color their individual stories and lives.
This modular collage is meant to create a fluid portrait, which fundamentally reveals a multi-faceted and ambiguous account of people and place. The framework further incorporates non-linear tropes of Chinese and Japanese poetry, Lian Ju and Renga, which in the documentary entailed here, prompt the viewer to combine and reformulate the compositional elements of interview, landscape, and portraiture to a perpetual montage of interrelations and associations.
Ultimately, both the content and framework serve as a means to re-imagine how public digital screens and documentary can further function poetically both in terms of narratives and delivery in a modern digital landscape.
