HSU Che-Yu

Hsu Che-Yu (b.1985) born in Taipei.

 

He works as an artist who primarily creates animations, videos and installations that feature the relations between media and memories. What matters to the artist is not simply the history of events traceable through media, but also the construction and visualization of memories, be they private or collective.
