Huang Yin-tzu / Taiwan
This video installation consists of four vertical videos side by side, portrays Taiwanese women from four different historical periods in the last 130 years to show the cultural identity crisis in Taiwan.
Artist's Statement
Taiwan’s fragmented political identity and changing of language and culture is the main focus of the installation. I play all four female characters in the videos. They are from the region I was born in, but in different historical periods. Each video screen presents one female character. Making this project has been for me an important discovery process in knowing where I am from, more exactly who I am or who I think I am. Meanwhile, I do this in order to focus on the cultural identity crisis in Taiwan.
