Su Hui-Yu ^(TW)

Su Hui-Yu (b. 1976, Taipei) is a video artist and movie director working at the intersection of film, performance, and installation to explore the connection between mass media, pop culture, memories of martial law and the post-colonial history of Taiwan. Often foregrounding marginalised voices and drawing on popular culture, Su employs the approach of re-shooting as a method to create new works, revisiting past, unfinished, tabooed, and misunderstood narratives, events and figures to open 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).
