如果攝影即是將歲月痕跡定影的藝術，張照堂的藝術便是在展現我們現代性那奇異時間性的不可見痕跡。在此，時間並不是日常生活普通意義下共通於我們之間的某種事物。張照堂向我們揭示了另一種時間，對我們隱而不見的歲月，在我們現代社會中已疏離的歲月，我們無法將這種歲月視為理所當然的時間。張照堂的藝術，即是永不止息，努力讓事物間的糾葛、吾人身體與後資本主義社會間的連帶，變得可見，其所處環境十分鄰近、匯聚著恐懼與希望，卻至為卑微、無人聞問。我相信我們的「全時間藝術家」持續在展現，即使在人性最艱難的時刻，歲月仍在我們的周遭，值得與之共活，值得為之戰鬥，值得彼此共享。
歲月、身體、糾葛、動物、機遇
If photography is the art of fixing shadow as a trace of time, Chang Chao-tang's art is showing invisible trace of strange temporality of our modernity. Time here is not something common to us as usual meaning of everyday life. Chang Chao-tang shows us another time, the time hidden to us, the time alienated in our modern society, the time that we cannot regard as promised one. The art of Chang Chao-tang is an everlasting effort to make visible the entanglement of things, our bodily engagement with post-capitalist society in the circumstance of the most humble, unknown neighbors where fear and hope melted into one. I believe that our "artist of all time" continue to show that the time is still there on our side worth living with, worth battling with, worth sharing with even in the hardest time of humanity
