Hsu Yi-Ting:Knock the Floor

5 - 26 March 2022 YIRI ARTS

Yi Ting Hsu (b.1992) graduated from the School of Fine Arts at the Taipei National University of the Arts in 2016 and then received her master's degree in fine arts from the same university in 2020, prior to that she had participated in a study exchange program at the Academy of Fine Art in Prague.

Hsu's works mainly focus on the power in the artistic field, urban morphology, and social system, exploring the boundaries of the power structure. Ways of presenting include installation, video, document, painting and performance.

In recent years, the series of "Floating Body" is the core, Hsu's art focuses on the exploration of boundaries in structures of power, and the resistance, manipulation, and speculation that occur between the center and margin of institutional cores. She uses performances to link together what's inside and outside of these boundaries, through the "Floating Body", shake the ubiquitous power structure by means of spatial simile, place overlap, location metaphor, etc., to confuse the boundary rules of reality.
