Re-Shooting
Artist Hui-Yu Su (蘇匯宇)
In recent years, Hui-Yu Su has employed the approach of “Re-shooting” as a method and a metaphor to create new works. This method includes shooting new films based on old films, events, specific art pieces, or even a book. And as a result, the concept allows the artist to review and reflect on history, even to go further - open “the narrative”. Through this method, Su revisits past, unfinished, tabooed, and misunderstood figures and things. In this talk, Su will present how he uses his own way to achieve new revelations and unveils active historical viewpoints, addressing the connection between mass media, pop culture, memories of martial law, collectivism, nationalism, high-tech supply chain, and the post-colonial history of Taiwan and East Asia.
