I recently had the chance to spend a few days in Taipei, and everybody recommended me to visit Taipei 101 building. Once the tallest skyscraper in the world, it has become the main symbols in Taiwanese Capital. Not being a big fan of skyscrapers myself, I was not really fascinated about it from its aesthetic point of view, specially from close distance. But once you walk away from it, you really feel how it dominates the city and why its so relevant for the locals. With this series my goal is not to portray the building itself, but its dominance over Taipei. I decided to make it a night series because the building is much more spectacular by night.
最近我有机会在台北呆了几天，大家都推荐我去台北101楼。它曾经是世界上最高的摩天大楼，现在已经成为台湾首都的主要标志。我本人并不是摩天大楼的忠实粉丝，我并不是从它的美学角度，特别是从近距离的角度，对它感兴趣。但是一旦你离开它，你就会真正感受到它如何支配着这个城市，为什么它与当地人如此相关。通过这个系列，我的目标不是描绘建筑物本身，而是它对台北的统治地位。我决定把它变成夜景系列，因为整栋楼晚上要壮观得多。
