"Black Sand is a continuation of Anderson + Low's
ongoing studies of sport and of sport as a reflection of both
individual and cultural diversity and aspiration; it is an exploration
of the new Taiwanese surfing culture."
"The
volcanic black sand beaches, the grey sky of the typhoon season and a
lead-colored sea provide a natural monochrome backdrop for this new
series.The only color in the photographs is found in the surfer's skin
and the vibrant design of their surfboards and surfing attire. the
resulting images are the antithesis of the archetypal surfing image."

Low: We submitted some work for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. It
was quite unique because it was the first time they accepted
Photography as an art form in the Royal Academy. The rest is history.
Jonathan Anderson: We thought we’d better take ourselves seriously and carry on, so that's where it all started.
