Lives and works in Los Angeles, CA, USA
Artist statement
Nung-Hsin Hu is a Taiwanese-born U.S.-based interdisciplinary artist who interweaves video, sculpture, performance, and installation in her practice. Her work intends to reveal the invisible status, articulate the unconsciousness, and perform the vulnerability through a poetic and whimsical approach. Her current projects utilize analog film combining traditional and direct film-making techniques to address a sense of loss, archive the ephemeral, and discuss the subjects of time and memory, also intended to reflect the collective grief and mourning for an impossible return during the Pandemic era.
