Allison Chuang is a documentary photographer and visual artist based in London, originally from Taiwan.
Her work delves into the complex layers of historical memory, political tensions, and the enduring consequences of war. Through intimate portraits and evocative landscapes, she captures the collective human experience, examining how individuals and communities bear the weight of the past while navigating present-day conflicts.
Drawing upon her background in journalism, she combines storytelling with photography to capture the essence of her subjects. Allison’s approach is deeply research-driven, combining archival investigation with on-the-ground interviews and visual documentation.
By focusing on personal narratives and visual symbols of war, Allison’s work invites viewers to reflect on the complexities of political borders, identity, and the human cost of conflict. Her aim is not only to document the past but also to use photography as a tool to foster dialogue around contemporary geopolitical issues, particularly conflict, memory, and reconciliation.
