LAVENDER CHANG (b.1983, TAIWAN/SINGAPORE)

Lavender Chang's focus lies in conceptual photography. Lavender’s artwork is a reflection of the sensitivity towards the subtle nuances surrounding her. She hopes to focus on these experiences, to create a canvas allowing further contemplation and letting the passage of time to leave behind traces of her mortality. When strangers share private moments of their lives and stories with her, it enables her to live larger by incorporating them into her art. It moves her to know we are never really alone.

Chang’s works have been exhibited by numerous galleries and museums in Singapore, Malaysia, China, New York, Korea and Yogyakarta, Dubai...etc. The recent shows include exhibitions at - Center for Photography and Film and the 10th- anniversary exhibition of ION Arts’ Young Talent Programme, YTP REUNITE during Singapore Art Week 2019. And a solo exhibition commissioned by Alliance Française de Singapour for its 70th anniversary.

Chang was the winner of The Crowbar Awards, the Noise Singapore Prize, the 2012/2013 Affordable Art Fair’s Young Talent Programme, the 6th France+ Singapore Photographic Art Awards. In 2016, her collaboration with &Larry won the President Design Award's Design of the year. In 2018, her cinematography work for John Clang’s debut feature film, Their Remaining Journey, which premiered at the 2018 International Film Festival Rotterdam and garnered a nomination for the festival's Bright Future Award. It is also the opening film for the National Gallery Singapore’s Painting with Light: Festival of International Films on Art. In 2020, A Love Unknown is selected by the International Film Festival Rotterdam for its Bright Future Main Programme and Asian premiere at the 12th DMZ International Documentary Film Festival. FLOATING RAYS OF A WANDERER

Floating Rays of a Wanderer is a series akin to tracing the journey of strangers, attempting to sense their destination, mapping their journey over a long duration of exposure via public transport. The images were captured from a public bus with their fixated route, continuously recording the various landscapes brought in front of the lens field of view, compressing the duration into one singular frame.
