「轉風」王文彥蘭嶼攝影展

「又轉風了。」老漁人看著遊動的雲，感嘆著說以前的天氣比現在穩定多了。達悟－這個居住在蘭嶼島上的民族，擁有獨特的海洋文化，世代以來在黑潮洋流上過著自給自足與世無爭的生活。如今在現代化、全球化的影響下，達悟人再也無法置身事外；季風將族人吹向臺灣謀生活，也將大批觀光客吹進島內消費，蘭嶼早已不再是蘭嶼。在傳統文化快速流失，自我認同失序的這一世代，時代的巨風又將會把蘭嶼吹向哪裡呢？透過此攝影展，我們將可窺見蘭嶼在地的生活，和在現代與傳統間交會下的故事。

“The wind changes its direction again.”The elder fisherman looked at themoving clouds, sighing for the unstable weather nowadays. The Tao, the aboriginal in Lanyu, possesses the unique ocean cluture, and from generation to generaion, they are self-sufficient and hold their life aloof from the world based on Kuroshio Current (a.k.a. black tide). However,under the influences of modernization and globalization, the Tao is unable to sit on the sidelines anymore. The monsoon sends the aboriginal to Taiwan for a living, and brings a large number of tourists to Lanyu. Lanyu is no longer Lanyu. In the generation of cultural loss and self-conscious disorder, which direction will the hurricane of times bring Lanyu to? Through this photography exhibition, we can witness the life in Lanyu, and the stories written by tradition and modernization.
