From 24 April 2026, the exhibition space Room Room will be transformed into a functional TV station, transmitting the sprawling time-worlds of one of Taiwan’s most influential artists, Su Hui-Yu.

The curatorial duo behind Tofu Collective, Martin Wendelbo and Regen Li, has invited artist and filmmaker Su Hui-Yu (b. 1976) to conclude his expanded cinema project The Trio Hall in a Danish exhibition context. Initiated through solo exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Taipei (2023) and further developed at the Bogotá Museum of Modern Art (2025), the project brings together filmmaking and exhibitions into evolving and participatory production sites. Drawing on the multifaceted format of variety shows, it invites audiences into a living broadcast, culminating in a feature film produced entirely through the three exhibitions. The first iteration of the feature film was selected for the Berlinale 2025.

Combining video, installation, and performance, Vroom Vroom: A Total Story unfolds as a site-specific TV studio, bringing together previous works and on-site productions across an SCR (Studio Control Room), a makeup room, and a studio floor, each a cog in a larger system of history production. Moving between past futures and future pasts, the exhibition reactivates historically suppressed narratives and imaginaries staged through the apparatus of one of broadcast television’s most long-lived and all-encompassing TV genres: the variety show.

Globally circulated during the Cold War as a distinct American export, the variety show arrived in Taiwan alongside a violent regime change, where four decades of martial law (1949-1987) pushed marginalised cultures and communities to the periphery. Against this backdrop, Su Hui-Yu employs ‘reshooting’ as an artistic method, referencing a term from the film industry, where scenes are filmed again in order to correct, refine, or entirely rework them. In Su’s hands, reshooting becomes a way to reenter and reimagine history as a living archive, inhabited by unresolved desires, images and narratives that still bubble beneath the surface of the present.

By staging the previously censored, obscured, or politically instrumentalised fragments of history, Su repositions them within imagined futures and invites us to understand them in the context of the unstable and anxiety-inducing time, we are in now, which—much like the exhibition—is constantly performing itself.

The exhibition takes the form of a dynamic broadcast and will continue to evolve throughout the exhibition period with new works developed on-site in collaboration with local contributors.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Su Hui-Yu (b. 1976, Taipei) is an artist and filmmaker working at the intersection of video, performance, and installation to explore the connection between mass media, post-colonial history, identity and technology. Often foregrounding marginalised voices and drawing on popular culture, Su employs re-shooting as a method to revisit unfinished, tabooed, and misunderstood narratives from the past, opening up new readings of collective memory—not as nostalgia, but as an active and critical rewriting.

Su Hui-Yu has exhibited internationally at institutions including MOCA Taipei, MAMBO Bogota in Columbia, Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, San Jose Museum of Art (USA), Kunsthalle Winterthur (Switzerland), Casino Luxembourg, Bangkok Art and Culture Center, Hyundai ArtLab (Seoul), and Power Station of Art (Shanghai). His works have also been presented at major film festivals, including the International Film Festival Rotterdam (which dedicated a retrospective to his video works in 2017), Berlinale (Forum, 2025), Videonale (Germany), Singapore International Film Festival, Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival, and PERFORMA (New York). Su Hui-Yu lives and works in Taipei, Taiwan.
