Dubbed as the seasoned idol group in the Taiwanese Photography field, Group Visual-10 was the first cross-field creative art group founded in the early 1980s. The world at the time was embracing a contemporary wave led by Western literature that expanded into an avant-garde era spanning across varying fields. Later referred to by intellectuals as the era of “contemporary consciousness,” it features art forms and styles that are experimental, explorative, and creative. Taiwan faced a political and economic predicament in the late 1970s. While society was gloomed by the burdening pressure, the cultural and art sector was building up an unsettling momentum seeking to dismantle social norms and break free of the quandary. Since the early 1980s, youth devoted to literature, theatre, and artistic creation began expressing their unease or discontent toward the overall environment and personal situations consistently through their works.

Artist’s message

Chuang Ling
On the 50th anniversary of Group Visual-10, the five of us as old friends of V-10 are glad to launch a joint exhibition at Cheng Kong University in Tainan. It not only takes us down memory lane to when V-10 budded in the 1980s, but also provides the public with a glimpse into the future of Taiwanese film and imagery development in the ancient city of Zeelandia.
Huang Yung Sung
Beauty lies everywhere from dawn to dusk. In my opinion, the significance of images overpowers the act of photography. Photography is a journey of discovering beauty, expressing beauty, documenting beauty, and recreating beauty. The linkage to life is indispensable in every process.
Quo ying sheng
Every piece of my creation is like a record of a life segment. While on the move, I internalize what I see into the scenery in an intrinsic world. Solitary, lonesome, warmth, and memories once felt.
Lin bor liang
Life is full of surprises, and photography is among the top. Photography is an academy I’m enrolled in for the graduate study of my life while my life is enriched by photography in return. Yet, life is also full of regrets. These are times where photography is my redemption. Only through photography can I make up for certain losses. I hope I can hold photography dear to my heart well into my senior years.
LIU Chen Hsiang
I was a sculptor by training. When I came across photography, the world perceived through the lens to me was Psyche to Cupid. With that, I devoted my life to it. The mirror images transpired via the viewfinder never wither nor exhaust. Every moment remains as if the first day I stumbled across photography.
