The purpose of this paper is to research and present the current tendencies of Installation Art and Contemporary Art Photography in order to understand the Photograph as a medium to create Installation Art. This paper also illustrates a selection of 15 photo-artists whomthrough their artworks share a commitment to making their own contribution to the physical and intellectual space of culture.The aim of these works are presented to give foundation to the development of the Solo-Photo Installation The Absence of the Unknown, held in FOTOSOFT Institute of Photography(視丘攝影藝術學院), Taipei 2015. This Installation was a personal contribution in collaboration with WU Jiabao (吳嘉寶), founder ofthe Institute. The Solo-Photo Installation served with the purpose of a case study since the main focus of this Installation was to develop an artwork from a foreigner’s perspective in order to promoteContemporary Art Photography within the Taiwanese society.

Research collected helped to create a practical guide of the promotion and development of a Photo-Installation, which would serve as a model to be applied in the development of an Art Installation.Through an “observer as participant” approach,interviews and questionnaires,the research analyzed the data by interpreting the insights and experiences of professional artists, art students and non-art related attendants. The obtained datahelped toarrived to the final conclusions and recommendations. There is also a considerable scope for further investigation.
