This Installation was a personal contribution in collaboration with WU Jiabao (吳嘉寶), founder ofthe Institute. The Solo-Photo Installation served with the purpose of a case study since the main focus of this Installation was to develop an artwork from a foreigner’s perspective in order to promoteContemporary Art Photography within the Taiwanese society. Research collected helped to create a practical guide of the promotion and development of a Photo-Installation, which would serve as a model to be applied in the development of an Art Installation.Through an “observer as participant” approach,interviews and questionnaires,the research analyzed the data by interpreting the insights and experiences of professional artists, art students and non-art related attendants. The obtained datahelped toarrived to the final conclusions and recommendations. There is also a considerable scope for further investigation.
