苗之珊  簡歷

英國里茲大學傳播研究碩士、中央大學英美語文學系畢業。曾任私人工藝博物館專員、書店店員、出版社資深編輯、台北當代藝術館好玩藝教室及黑白攝影暗房課程助教。曾獲獎或入選於全國美術展、高雄獎等獎項，現職為特約攝影，從事自由創作，作品以概念表達為核心，媒材不限於攝影或文字範疇。

由於對人際互動、微觀場域的觀察及介入、影像與文字間新脈絡生產、影像重製、日常語言變化等議題的廣泛興趣，創作主題涵蓋單身者當代肖像的《臥室計畫》（The Bedroom Project）；教室內學生與老師間權力對抗及協商的《教室計畫》（The Classroom Project）；重構影像脈絡與凸顯閱讀顯義過程的《閱讀計畫》（The Reading Project）；反思作者性、原創性與個體性的社群網站文字作品《寫作計畫》（The Writing Project）；翻拍昔日明信片寄給現時友人，以郵件承載情誼的失去與再尋的《明信片計畫》（The Postcard Project）；使用傳統3D影像，在電視火車之旅的景致變換裡，創造想像力逃逸路線的《The Anaglyph Project: Portal》；以QR Code與Barcode為視覺表現，探測圖文閱讀／讀取疆域及邊界的《Riddles and Rhymes》等。

近期創作為檢視個人影像歷程的《如果你在我的電影裡》（If You Were in My Movies），以及自省攝影初心、歸返光色痕影的《I Shall Explain in Simple Words》與《Prismatics》。目前偶爾上街拍照，但不是為了拍照。

Chih-Shan Miao

Chih-Shan Miao, a former book editor, a freelance photographer, a part-time language teacher, and an interdisciplinary artist, is based in Taipei, Taiwan.  She received her BA in English at National Central University in Taiwan, and MA in Communications Studies at Leeds University in UK.  Before she started her photography career, she was a senior editor in charge of books editing and publishing.  Her personal works show her interests widely in sociological approaches to contemporary portraits (The Bedroom Project); the power struggles between her as the part-time teacher and her students (The Classroom Project); the context re-created by both images and texts (The Reading Project); the reconsideration of authorship, originality, and individuality (The Writing Project); the dynamic adaptation in languages (The Speaking Project) and the anxiety of efficient communication in languages (The Listening Project).

Miao’s recent works include the lost and the found of friendship (The Postcard Project), and the imaginative escape from the ordinary reality (The Anaglyph Project: Portal).  If You Were in My Movies (2018) and Riddles and Rhymes (2019) are her latest projects which are still ongoing.

Miao was awarded Silver Prize of Photography in 2012 National Art Exhibition and Honorable Mention of Photography in 2014 National Art Exhibition. She was also awarded Honorable Mention of 2014 Kaohsiung Awards of Fine Arts. She was included in several group exhibitions in Taiwan.
