Chi-Chang Chang

Chang received an M.S. from Indiana University, Bloomington and a B. A. from Soochow University, Taipei. He joined Magnum Photos in 1995 and was elected as a full member in 2001. He lives in Taichung, Taiwan and Graz, Austria. Chang focuses on the abstract concepts of alienation and connection. “The Chain,” a collection of portraits made in a mental asylum in Taiwan, was shown at La Biennale di Venezia (2001) and the Bienal de São Paulo (2002). The nearly life-sized photographs of pairs of patients chained together resonate with Chang’s look at the less visible bonds of marriage. At the Bienal de São Paulo he was involved in the Thomann controversy. Chang has treated marital ties in two books—I do I do I do (2001), a collection of images depicting alienated grooms and brides in Taiwan, and in Double Happiness (2005), a depiction of the business of selling brides in Vietnam. The ties of family and of culture are also the themes of a project begun in 1992. For 21 years, Chang has photographed and videoed the bifurcated lives of Chinese immigrants in New York’s Chinatown, along with those of their wives and families back home in Fujian. Still a work in progress, “China Town” was hung at the National Museum of Singapore in 2008 as part of a mid-career survey and at Venice Biennale (2011) as well as at International Center of Photography, New York (2012). Chang’s investigation of the ties that bind one person to another draws on his own divided immigrant experience in the United States. 活动家作为专业第三方嘉宾邀约平台，依托互联网公开数据为您提供嘉宾信息展示服务。若您发现嘉宾信息需要更新或移除，请发送邮件或联系客服。 我们专注于根据您的具体需求（包括演讲议题、会议日期及活动预算等），为您精准匹配各领域专业嘉宾。 为高效服务，建议您提前准备好详细活动信息，并拨打客服电话：18911802888（工作日9:00-18:00）。 温馨提示：本服务仅限嘉宾邀约相关事宜，其他需求暂不处理，感谢您的理解与配合。
