"Everything After You"
——關於攝影和儀式記憶
"Everything After You" 系列攝影創作來源至親喪失的痛苦。以此為背景，藝術家運用人們生活中的必需品——“愛情“、”家庭‘、“陪伴”、“生活”和“物質’為材料，思考“死亡”如何改變我們對生活的鑑賞。
攝影師以靜物形式象徵描繪了中國的傳統喪葬儀式。在此過程中詮釋了一個生命意義的轉化與最終回歸原點的想法。鄭柏君的攝影作品藉由相機和時尚的語言，來探索及對於陳詞濫調的批判和省思。

Everything After You
An exhibition of photography and ritual remembrance
Chinatown Soup is pleased to present Everything After You, an exhibition of photography on view December 17 - December 24, 2019. Please join us for a reception on December 18, from 6-9pm.
This photographic series contemplates the meaning of death in response to the artist suffering the loss of his mother. By presenting basic human needs for love, family, company, life, and material in the context of intimate loss, Cheng wonders how death transmutes our appreciation of life. Chinese funerary rituals are depicted in the form of symbolic still-lives before transitioning to self-portraits and, finally, natural landscapes. Via this cycle, Cheng explores a process that returns us to a sense of origin.
Bochun Cheng’s photographic artworks explore both camera and fashion language while critiquing and contemplating the notion of cliche with his own point of view. Born in Taiwan, Cheng worked at a commercial photo studio before starting his professional career as freelance photographer in 2015.
Cheng studied Fine Art at Pratt Institute in New York and graduated from the master’s program in 2018. During his academic years, Cheng was influenced by the 1970’s Dusseldorf School of Photography, which was devoted to objectivity, deadpan, and minimalist art. Cheng breaks the traditional rules of commercial photography to reveal racism, bias, and cultural stereotypes that are rooted in the subconscious of the commercial photography industry. His artworks have been published in several fashion and art magazines such as Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, Marie Claire, Shuba, DowntownNYC, The HUF, and Solstice.
