YU Hsin-lan, originated from the Truku tribe, whose ethnic name is Rngrang·Hungul, Rngrang being her first name and Hungul in her father’s name.Rngrang’s works are based on long-term visual fieldwork and focus on contemporary issues of indigenous people. She excels in transforming daily situations and intimate personal experiences of the tribe into creative elements from a woman’s perspective, thereby debating the positioning and methods of reconnecting individuals with traditional culture in contemporary society.
Her recent works include“Mgaluk Dowmung, Connecting with Dowmung”,“Woman the Hunter”,“The Woman Carrying the Prey”,”Mountain Keepers”.
The Woman Carrying the Prey expresses women’s perseverance and strength by extension. “Carrying” is not only about the physical weight, but also about the continuation of the hunter’s traditional hunting culture. The relationship between human, ecology and animal interdependence is gradually built up through the daily life of a female hunter in the mountains.
