SU (Su Hui-Yu) explores the connection between mass media, pop culture, memories of martial law and the post-colonial history of Taiwan and East Asia. His “Re-shooting” series centers around Taiwanese and East Asian history, memory, re-imagination and transgression. His recent projects engage collective memories and ideologies while exploring the mechanism of oppression and liberation tied to Taiwan cultural values. He obtained an MFA from Taipei National University of the Arts in 2003, and has remained active in the contemporary art scene and the film society ever since.
SU’s works have been exhibited at renowned exhibitions, festivals, and art institutes, including MOCA Taipei, Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, Casino Luxembourg, Bangkok Arts and Culture Center, Kunsthalle Winterthur (Switzerland), San Jose Museum of Art (California, USA), Curitiba International Biennial of Contemporary Art (Brazil), 1646 Art Space (Den Haag, The Netherlands) and Power Station of Art (Shanghai, China), the International Film Festival Rotterdam, Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival, Singapore International Film Festival, the Videonale (Germany), PERFORMA (New York, USA), RISING (Melbourne). In 2017, International Film Festival Rotterdam dedicated a retrospective to SU’s video works, while his video work Super Taboo had its world premiere in the Tiger Awards Competition for Short Films. From the summer of 2023, Su’s new project The Space Warriors series has been tour exhibited at Hyundai ArtLab in Seoul for the finalist of the 5th VH Art Award, ARS Electronica in Linz, Kunstsammlungen am Theaterplatz in Germany, and Casino Luxembourg. The same year in May, Su’s biggest museum solo The Trio Hall was exhibited in MOCA Taipei, curated by Eugenio Viola.
