林部落旁的祖父家過年，而開始關注原住民文化物件與服飾。攝影計畫旨在發掘並探索原住民文化，進而思考如何讓這些文化在當代城市中更為普遍地被接受與喜愛。儘管原住民文化應是臺灣特有的在地文化，但在原住民生活範圍之外，其影響卻十分有限。 她將目光鎖定在臺灣首都——臺北，並特別選擇非原住民族群的都市居民作為拍攝對象，藉此探討都市中非原住民對原住民物件的接受度與看法。本次創作試圖探討原住民文化在推廣與大眾認知過程中的流動性，及如何讓這獨具特色的寶島風情被更廣泛地認識與傳播。
The word “藏” (pronounce: tsáng) means both “to hide” or “a treasure.” Photographer WEN-HSUAN CHAO grew interested in indigenous cultural items and clothing from spending her childhood Lunar New Year holidays at her grandfather’s house near the Danlin Tribe in Pingtung, a rural district in Taiwan. Her project focuses on discovering and exploring indigenous culture and finding ways to make it appreciated in current culture. Although indigenous culture is a unique trait of Taiwan, its influence remains limited outside indigenous areas. She chose Taipei as the main location and focused on urban residents who are not Indigenous. Through this, she investigated how non-indigenous people in the city dealt with indigenous items. This project aims to explore how indigenous culture can be more recognized and understood, and how it might spread more widely.
