// Hsin-I, LIN. [ Ecotone ]: the perceptual ecology of screen images.2024 – 2026
// Hsinchu Jiu-gang Island is a sandbar island located at the mouth of the Touqian River, with a total perimeter of 1.83 kilometers. This project takes film and photo paper as an ecotone— a material space at the margins of cultural-ecological consciousness and image production. The island’s edge is divided into 100-meter segments and explored over months and years through walking, measuring, and collecting local plant life, river water, and soil. Using alternative photographic techniques and soil chromatography, the work creates moving abstract images in collaboration with the island’s ecological elements and environment.
