Chu Chun-Teng was born in 1982, Taipei, Taiwan. He graduated from the Department of Film at Shih Hsin University in Taipei, Taiwan in 2006, and in 2010, completed his MFA in Fine Art at Goldsmiths, University of London, in the UK.
Chu Chun-Teng made a number of feature films and was selected in international film festivals while he was still a university student. Upon receiving his BA film degree, he shifted his focus towards fine art and worked on film, video art and installation. He is deeply concerned with the dilemma of the individual in modern society, in particular individual existence, social hierarchy and political conflicts, which are all closely examined throughout his art practice.
His work has been widely presented by major film festivals and international art institutions, including the 28th Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival, the 19th Singapore International Film Festival, the 7th Seoul International Film Festival and the 2014 Taipei Biennial, as well as at the Great Acceleration, Kunsthaus Esse, Shanghai Contemporary Art Museum, Glasgow Center for Contemporary Arts, and Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art.
In 2013 Chu Chun-Teng founded the co-working art space Polymer in Taipei to promote interdisciplinary art practices and artistic experimentation.
