WU,ZHEN

Born in Guiren, Tainan County, Wu Zhen has always felt a deep affinity for her homeland, sparking her passion for photography as a teenager. She resides in Jiangjun, known for its saline landscapes, where the ocean’s scent deepens her connection to nature. This enchantment with the coastal life inspired her to spend two years by the harbor, leading to the creation of her debut documentary, “Blowing in the Wind.”

同場放映:《百年之後》

靠海的人生,交織在安平漁港捕魚、殺魚、飲食的日常。跟著船出海、吹風,和漁人輕鬆對話,感受台南的時空演替;透過鏡頭貼近過往,也聆聽在地故事;娓娓道來的是與海相依的生命智慧,也訴說著安平未來。

In creating "Blowing in the Wind," we delved into the daily lives of a fisherman, a fish butcher, and a breakfast stall owner at Tainan's Anping Fish Market to uncover the modern challenges faced by traditional fishing industries. This documentary not only chronicles their efforts to sustain livelihoods in a modern context but also pays homage to the gradually vanishing maritime culture. Through this film, we aim to showcase their resilience and the value of cultural identity, prompting viewers to reflect on the interplay between tradition and modernity.
