Relative Perspective
相對透視地景採集計畫
Chang-Chih Chen creates a photographic language called "Relative Perspective". He transforms the time-space relationship in relativity into images and applies it in socio-humanity areas. In the long-term landscape collection project, the scenes in city and countryside are cut in pieces. This project encourages people to rethink about the environment, time and space they live at the moment. So far the project has collected scenes from Taiwan, Germany, France, UK, Spain and Indonesia.
陳長志創造一種名為「相對透視」的攝影語彙，他將相對論的時空關係轉化成影像，應用於社會人文領域，
藉由長年執行地景採集計劃，剖面城市與地貌景觀，讓我們重新思維所處的環境與時空。
目前已採集台灣、德國、法國、英國、西班牙、印尼六國版本。
Relative Perspective-
Iron-skin, steel-bone, wood-lung, human-heart
“Steel-bone and iron-skin” is a common material for quick construction in Taiwan. It is usually applied on provisional construction, such as the illegally built, patches, or low-cost oriented iron-skin houses.
To extend more construction space, iron-skin were built under the tree leaves. Trees growing in iron-skin have thus become one of Taiwan’s spectacles.
Finally what stopped the spectacle was not the two typhoons that passed directly through Taiwan, but human beings.
［相對透視］- 鐵皮鋼骨木肺人心
鋼骨鐵皮是臺灣常採用的一種可快速建構的建材，通常用在臨時性的建築，譬如違建或建物補丁；或是要求低成本的鐵皮屋建築。而為了拓展更多建蔽空間，樹蔭下又加蓋鐵皮，鐵皮生喬木因運而成為臺灣的奇觀之一。最後終止奇觀的不是因為兩個筆直穿越臺灣的颱風，是人。
Relative Perspective-Temporary Markets in Taiwan
Red and blue umbrella flowers blossom under the leaves of the city jungle
Linkages of the peaks shorten consuming miles
Small bees carry hopes into the market
Trades of ages, successful bargains or free spring onions
Note: The mini truck for goods selling is usually dubbed as “small bees”
［相對透視］-臺灣臨時市集
紅藍傘花在都市叢林葉隙下朵朵綻放，
峰峰相連間縮短了消費里程，
小蜜蜂(註)載著希望進駐，
歲月的交易，喊價不成送把蔥。
註：載著貨物兜售的發財車俗稱"小蜜蜂"
Relative Perspective-Jing-Jie Deer
This Formosan sika deer, with one deerhorn written ‘Jing-Jie’ in Chinese, stands on the platform of the train station in Sinying, Tainan and gazes at the ever-changing scene on the opposite platform.
More than three hundred years ago, this was the realm of the Formosan sika deers. The international trades rapidly converted the blood and flesh into the form of fur.
Now, besides the offspring in few repopulation fields, they exist as literature, sample and statues.
Note: “Jing-Jie” could mean boundary, limits, realm or a state of mind.
［相對透視］- 境界鹿
這頭鹿角上繪有"境界"漢字記號的梅花鹿，矗立於臺南新營的火車站月臺，遙望著對岸月臺變化瞬即的光景。
三百多年前，這裡可還是梅花鹿的生活場域，當年國際貿易促使血肉之軀快速地轉化成皮草的形式存在於世。
現在，除了幾個復育場仍有子嗣殘喘，牠們以記載以標本以雕塑存在。
Relative Perspective- Rhine Vineyard
'Relative Perspective-Vineyard' Series is taken in Rheingau, Germany, which is a famous wine region. Human beings cultivated wild grapes for the need of wine. The inherited farming and growing wine methods regulate the way how vine should grow. Gradually we get used to the way how vines look like. In fact this is not how it looks as original wild vine. No one is to be seen in the photos despite the obvious man-made traces everywhere. Are we too used to the all-artificial world that we forget how everything looks like at the origin.
［相對透視］- 萊茵葡萄園
本系列作品採集自德國的萊茵河流域，這一帶是著名的葡萄酒產區，人類為了釀酒的需求而將野生葡萄馴化，依著傳承下來的栽培方式規範了葡萄的生長樣態，而且我們也習慣了葡萄樹就該長成這樣，其實葡萄樹的原生樣態並非如此。照片中不見任何一人，卻處處可見人為的痕跡。是否我們都太習慣生活周遭人工化的一切，而忘記了萬物本初的樣貌。
Relative Perspective- Train is approaching
"Train is approaching." This term is from the railway crossing LED signal. This series collects scenes around railway crossing and observes the existence, and to block the supposed objects which do not exist.
［相對透視］- 列車接近中
「列車接近中」一詞來自平交道上的LED跑馬燈用語，此系列蒐集有關平交道停等現象，並從中觀察到存在，以及攔阻不存在的預設對象。
