Hou I-Ting
Hou I-Ting was born in Kaohsiung and is currently based in Taipei. By blending digital imagery and video with embroidery, Hou challenges the way we identify everyday imagery while reconfiguring otherwise prosaic visual experiences. Her practice pivots around the ever-changing relationship between the body and imagery. She is especially interested in the condition of female labour in the past and present socioeconomic systems: her on-site sewing performances are a cultural critique on the labour process within a capitalist society.
Hou has exhibited internationally. Her recent exhibitions include the 25th edition of Videoex Experimental Film and Video Festival, Kunstraum Walcheturm, Zurich, Switzerland (2023); Empowerment, Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, Germany (2022); Changwon International Sculpture Biennale: Channel Wave-Particle Duality, South Korea (2022); and Ring Project: Jakarta Biennale, National Museum of Indonesia, Indonesia (2022). Her work is in the collections of CHAT, Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts, White Rabbit Gallery and Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art.
