Chih-Kang Hsu

Chih-Kang Hsu (b. 1988) is a Taiwanese artist whose works primarily involve photography, moving-image, and installation. Deeply informed by his architecture and set design background, he is interested in discovering spatial interpretation in an urban landscape. Chih-Kang uses photography as a material to explore illusion and reality in imagery by disrupting and destroying photographs physically. Furthermore, he tries to reveal the unfamiliar moments around us which are being ignored under the public’s habitual behaviours. His current research focuses on how memory shifts within monumentality and materiality. Through historical and political investigation, he delves into how monumental objects in public interfere with the individual and society’s memory, the creation or cancellation of false memories and untold truths.
