Su Hou Wen - Something Vibrant

Between 2013 and 2023, Taiwanese photographer Su Hou-Wen captured the rivers near his home. With an open mind about where he directed his camera, Hou-Wen photographed flora and fauna, rock formations and tree branches, people and animals, and nature and artifice. While each individual shot is clean and clear, the series as a whole produces something less tangible. The waters are portrayed as a source of life and culture, always in motion, always rewriting, discarding, giving, reforming. Hou-Wen documents the artifacts that emerge from these processes. 'Something Vibrant' embodies a thick web of storytelling over time that fixates the photographer within its fluid boundaries.
