我的父親張威良是1949年從中國播遷來台灣的“外省人”,落腳並成家立業在原住民生活領域,也留下大批1960年代在台東大武鄉拍攝的老照片。我從中探索他眼中的景物,幾乎沒有生活密切的原住民身影,滿是對現代化建設的興趣,在過往與今日交錯的影像中略整理家族史,也一窺戰後的南迴地誌。

My father, William Chang, was a new immigrant from China who came to Taiwan in 1949 and started his family in Dawu Township, Taitung County, a Paiwanese area where most of the indigenous people of live. William's hobby was photography, and he left many records of his life in the 1960's. I explored the landscape through his eyes, indigenous people not there, but full of interest in the construction of modernization. I was able to organize my family's history in the intertwined images of the past and present, and to glimpse the post-war topographic  of South Taitung.
