Born in Taipei in 1981, photographer Sean Wang, who has congenital macular degeneration, faces near blindness in his left eye and gradual degeneration in his right. Despite the looming possibility of complete vision loss, he chose photography as his creative path, delving into the relationship between conceptual art and photography. Wang holds a master's degree in history from National Taiwan University. He pursued a master's program in photography at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Wang currently works as a photographer, photography critic. Awards including Kaohsiung Award Merit Award (2021), TIVAC Photography Award Special Jury Prize (2017), the Da Dun Fine Art Award Merit Award (2015), Grand View Emerging Artists Award in Art Criticism (2020), etc.. His work ‘To Thomas' in the collection of Residency Unlimited in New York. Wang’s "Bad New Days" series, inspired by his traumatic childhood experiences of frequent eye examinations. The process was terrifying for him as a young child—his eyes were immobilized in metal frames while doctors shone intense light directly for minutes. He even recalls young doctors casually discussing his eye photos nearby, akin to observers casually conversing in front of artwork. This series employs A.I. to "augment" his own retinal photography into visually pleasing images. The title of the series, "Bad New Days," is borrowed from the book of the same name by American art critic Hal Foster, describing how art confronts ominous and anxiety-inducing futures—a reminder for Wang of his condition during vision checks.
