Su Huiyu participates in the exhibition “Elysium- The Spiritual Journey of Yao Jui Chung and Su Hui-Yu”
Artist Su Huiyu is invited to the exhibition “Elysium- The Spiritual Journey of Yao Jui Chung and Su Hui-Yu,” which is curated by Dar-Kuen Wu and will be on view from June 26 to August 26 at Casino Luxembourg Forum d’Art Contemporary.
In Elysium, video works by Yao Yui Chung and Su Huiyu provide an objective look at the religious absurdities that are ravaging East Asia. Today, in Taiwan, where the multiplication of divinities, reincarnations and mysticisms is all exponential, religious faith no longer serves to bring human salvation but to satisfy human desires.
Su has in recent years conducted extensive investigation into anecdotes and created erotic images by reinterpreting and reshooting ealier works. For example, his 2017 video installation “The Walker” deconstructs three plays produced by the Taiwan Walker Theatre-Mary Scooter”(1993), “Asshole Man” (1996) and “Our Top Horny Novel” (2000)- and then ingeniously uses the elements to reconstruct his wild imaginings about history, the extreme dimensions of pop culture addressed in art films, and the subcultural modality of the Other.
