Hsing-Yu Liu
Born in 1985 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Liu received his MFA degree from the National Kaohsiung Normal University.
Liu's work centered on themes of agriculture, ecology and gender equality. For Liu, photography serves as both a creative method and a participatory medium, playing a thoughtful yet playful role in engaging people with these issues. Liu was nominated for the 2018 Taipei Arts Awards and participated in the Cosmopolis #2: Rethinking the Human at the Centre Pompidou.
In the photographic installation work that he got KG＋SELECT Award 2024, The Mail Address is No Longer Valid, to inform his ancestors about the legalization of same-sex marriage in Taiwan, he dressed his father in a wedding gown and his mother in a suit, staging a wedding that blurred the line between reality and illusion. Alongside photography, Liu incorporates calligraphy and sealing as a gesture to represent the absent and to bridge the past and future.
