Born in 1983 in Taichung, Taiwan, Hsu Chia-wei is an artist, filmmaker, and curator based in Taipei. A graduate of Le Fresnoy, he merges the languages of film and contemporary art and unearths the complex mechanisms behind images. Through his artistic practice, he weaves connections between humans, materials and places that have been overlooked or omitted in conventional historical narratives. He has participated in the Asia Pacific Triennial and Aichi Triennale, as well as other biennials worldwide, including Thailand, Singapore, Shanghai, Gwangju, Busan, Sydney, Venice, and many more. He has also held solo exhibitions at the Mori Art Museum, the Liang Gallery, the Museum of NTUE, and the Honggah Museum.
