Chia-Wei Hsu

* 1983 Taiwan. Lives in Taipei, Taiwan.

Hsu attended the Graduate School of Plastic Art, National Taiwan University of Arts. His artistic practice investigates the subjects of imagery and narrative through video installation to expose contemporary mechanisms of spectacle production while addressing memory, imagination, identity, and other cultural connections to filming sites. The juxtaposition of performance and event in the narratives of video and installation creates a wormhole, weaving together reality and imagination.

Selected group exhibitions include the Taipei Biennial, 2012; Metro-Wonderland: Taiwanese Artists and Urban Morphology, Liverpool Biennial, 2012; Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin/Madrid, Centre Pompidou, Haus der Kulturen der Welt and Reina Sofia National Museum, 2011; Une terrible poétique: Jeunes artistes taïwanais à Lyon, 2011; and Videonale: Dialogue in Contemporary Video Art, National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, 2011.
