cheng tsung feng's installation captures people’s attention instead of trapping fish

continuing his fish trap projects, artist cheng tsung feng introduces his latest bamboo installation in yuguang island, taiwan. the artist focused on the memories of the handicraft and the unique spatial experience that is perceived with the body to create a one-of-a-kind fish trap house, so the vessel has a chance to hold all kinds of possibilities and imagination. this pavilion is not used for trapping fish, instead, it captures the attention of people, luring them in as if they are fish in the water, swimming into the tempting landscape of the island.aerial photography

the fish trap is an ancient vessel, while in the past, it served as a tool for catching fish. then, as it was no longer used, it became a symbol that bears lost culture in museums and literature. in this piece, cheng tsung feng sought to take this vessel and reproduce it with different dimensions and appearances.the coastal view
