Hsu Che-Yu: Three Episodes of Mourning Exercise

Three Episodes of Mourning Exercises by Taiwanese video artist Hsu Che-Yu, is presented in collaboration with the Han Nefkens Foundation. The artist, whose practice focuses on the research and revisiting of historical moments, as well as the reconstruction of private and collective memories, was the winner of the Han Nefkens Foundation – Loop Barcelona Video Art Award Production in 2020. The Award aims to increase contemporary artistic production in the video art field by supporting artists of Asian origin or nationality. This exhibition which includes three works, Gray Room, Blank Photograph, and Zoo Hypothesis, are the result of the artist’s collaboration with a forensic team specialized in 3D scanning of crime scenes. The works which deal with the body, space, and memory, are part of an investigation into the “politics of death”.
