As a practice-led research, I chose time as the theme. “Time” had been the topic pursued , created and dealt with by countless artists . This " Time, in the Making " explored how time become a symbol and then returned to the reality . From the perspective of Heidegger's ontology , time was taken as a prototype for imagination .Time entered the state of life beyond the original symbol. As a scientific symbol of human belief ,it tied up all the human activities .We seem to regard time as a tool and ignore the time itself . But there was no way to leave a real present . Photography left the imprint of time , was the common belief of mankind. Time was constantly compressed flat , gradually lost the true meaning of time under the control of the faith. When looking back time seriously, we would realize that the symbols were the only thing we believed. To use the photography technology to shoot “time” , or the symbol generated by the time of différance , I explored the practice-led research by continuous absorption of the classic case and literature, finally developed into the context of the works.

With establishment of art shooting rules by the conceptual photography, the structure of work was divided into three stages, thing-in-Itself, simulacrum , hypertext. Firstly, thing-in-Itself corresponded to the entity of the object works .Then simulacrum was to deal with the five shooting object itself stage of the five works. Lastly, hypertext was for 7 simulacrum in the simulacrum works and 12 micro-range photography. Through the context and reflection of a series of works, how we observed the time perhaps could be completely different results. The structure and space of the work itself were important concept of the development of this creation. After the discussion of hypertext ,I moved on to the concept of deconstruction. Then fused the structure of simulacrum and hypertext , I used the form of concept photography to achieve the works of visual expression.

This creative issue provided a new philosophical thinking path for the audience. It brought forth a new perception of time codes and integrated philosophical and scientific speculative processes in an artistic way to explore the experience and knowledge of the world . In terms of creative forms , the use of conceptual photography provided a developmental mode of image creation and a broader perspective view of photography in Taiwan.
