Essas estruturas rob\u00f3ticas, que se desdobram em palco e cen\u00e1rios psicodelicamente coloridos e iluminados, dotados de poderosos autofalantes e um apelo sensorial alucinante que parece convidar ao transe, se tornaram populares em todo o pa\u00eds.

Their performances are often required in remote places, where makeshift stages are assembled prior to the show, and disassembled when it\u2019s time to ring the curtain down. Around 1993, these groups started to employ stage trucks, the subject of this photo series, both as form of transportation for group members to travel from job to job, and upon arriving at their performing sites, as makeshift show stages. Once parked, these trucks can be converted, much like a transformer robot, into complete stages featuring psychedelic LED lights and thundering speakers. Making their appearances around the island together with the performing groups, the stage trucks, estimated at 800 in total, have become part of the collective memories of the Taiwanese people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993366;\">4\u00d75 colour reversal films were used to take the pictures with the hopes of preserving all the exquisite details, in the early evenings just after sunset when the painted skies gave the stage trucks an aura of magic and serenity, creating a divine connection between them and their environments. These photos were taken in accordance with the spirit of straight photography, preserving the images as seen at the time of capture, and not digitally manipulated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993366;\">As for the presentation of the\u00a0<i>STAGE<\/i>\u00a0series \u2013no man\u2019s landscape incorporating the surrounding environment\u2014I hope to highlight the presence of the stage trucks, directing attention to their existence in the plebeian society, and contrast their secluded state in a surreal setting to the noise and fanfare at show time. By placing the stage truck theme in a new context, I attempt to break away from the visual expressions and forms of traditional documentary approach by employing a contemporary image model that seamlessly integrates environmental portraits, visual grouping, and category construction.\u00a0The STAGE project is expected to be completed by the end of 2013.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Palco Em Taiwan, desde a d\u00e9cada de 70, \u00e9 comum a apresenta\u00e7\u00e3o de grupos musicais e de dan\u00e7a em locais remotos usando palcos improvisados, quadro que se transformou nos anos 90 quando surgiram os<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":186,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-185","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artistas-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.2013.fif.art.br\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.2013.fif.art.br\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.2013.fif.art.br\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.2013.fif.art.br\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.2013.fif.art.br\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=185"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.2013.fif.art.br\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":190,"href":"https:\/\/www.2013.fif.art.br\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185\/revisions\/190"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.2013.fif.art.br\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/186"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.2013.fif.art.br\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=185"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.2013.fif.art.br\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=185"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.2013.fif.art.br\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=185"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
