Creative & Production Team

YAO Jui-Chung│Original Creator, Concept Director
Born in 1969 in Taipei, Taiwan, Yao Jui-Chung graduated from the Taipei National University of the Arts in 1994. His works have been widely exhibited in international biennials and triennials, including in Venice, Yokohama, Brisbane, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Seoul, Manchester, Sydney, Taipei, Jakarta, Poland, Macau, and other locations. Winner of the New Photographer Award at the Taipei Photography Festival, Multitude Foundation Art Prize (Hong Kong), APB Foundation Signature Art Prize People’s Choice Award (Singapore), Taishin Arts Award (Taiwan), and the ECC Video & Digital Art Award from the European Cultural Centre in Italy, Yao’s works examine a wide range of themes, primarily exploring the absurdity of the human condition. Known for employing humor in his early works to subvert orthodoxy and using photography installations to present a delusive and alienated “cold reality” that’s specific to Taiwan, Yao continues to explore “the irredeemable absurdity of humanity’s historical destiny.” His recent works explore the “spectacles of desire” found in Taiwanese folk religion in the forms of colossal deity figures and depictions of hell, seeking to capture the distinctive “New Transformationism” observed in Taiwan and present the “materialization of karma.” He created the fictional “Republic of Cynic,” which uses the parasitic host of the Republic of China as a conceptual framework to explore emerging national identities and the shifting dynamics of the new Cold War. Yao curated “Subzoology: 2020 Taiwan Biennial”, and is currently an Adjunct Professor at National Taiwan Normal University and Taipei National University of the Arts.
