Photography Category (映態：112年全國美術展攝影類)” exhibition in Taipei from now until Mar. 31, 2024. It shows a diverse array of perspectives from this year’s award-winning works while also revealing the participants’ unique visual orchestrations that shape nuanced and divergent expressions of contemporary life.
Advised by the Ministry of Culture and organized by the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts (NTMoFA), the “National Art Exhibition R.O.C. (全國美術展)” aims to promote artistic talent and encourage art creation, providing a platform for artists to grow and engage in dialogue. Director Chen Kuang-yi (陳貺怡) of the NTMoFA noted that the photography category received 165 submissions this year. She added that, after a rigorous public judging process, the jury members selected one gold, one silver, and one bronze award, along with 18 works receiving honorable mentions, totaling 21 pieces.
This year’s entries showcase a rich diversity of themes and stylistic approaches, ranging from traditional film photography and digital post-processing to AI-generated images, all presenting different visual textures. For more information on the exhibition, please visit NCPI’s website.
