Shu-Jung CHAO is an interdisciplinary artist.

Her works focus on the ideas behind fundamental human experiences such as memory, travelling/time travel, culture/language and aspects of consciousness, as well as “globalization” issues in the public sphere.

Shu-Jung grew up in Taipei, Taiwan. After long residence in France, she evolved a lifetime ambition to the video, new media, multimedia and contemporary art.

In 2009, Shu-Jung graduated from Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Art de Bourges with a Master’s degree in Fine Arts. In 2011-12, she participated in the Post-graduate programme at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratif de Paris.

In addition to participating in several international art festivals and exhibitions (in France, Germany, USA, Singapore and China), Shu-Jung is the only Taiwanese artist whose work was selected by the French-German Arts and Culture TV (ARTE Video Night), broadcast on ARTE, the Cinematheque of Toulouse, the Digital Culture Art Center in Paris (La Gaîté Lyrique ) and the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. In 2017, her first solo exhibition in Japan Sound! Soundings!! was broadcast on NHK and RSK TV. In 2011, she was selected for Taiwan’s Emerging Artists by the Ministry of Culture (Made in Taiwan - Young Artist Discovery). Several of her works have also been added to the collection of the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts and ArtBank, supported by the Ministry of Culture.

Molding ∞ Memories
This is an installation artwork about time & space/ memory & flow. It includes visual, auditory, and tactile components that bridge the culture, archaeology, soundscapes, and human lives of military village to form a unique story. I repurposed the letters from military villages and immigrant families in the way of re-molding, using the image of bricks and adding other precious small objects, stacking the old and new memories to create the artistic conception of the corridor of lif ...

You are here, Somewhere
Through multiple perspectives of the “boat” and the extended meanings of the “boat”, those are metaphors that the Hakka group has developed profoundly throughout Taiwan. Ninety boats are sailing, winding and stretching among the century-old trees. The precious historical patterns on the boats travel through time and space. They give the participants several layers of memories and accumulations. The participants can take a walk freely and discover this artwork ( The Hakka Culture & Histo ...

Sculpting in Time – Body & memory & flow
This is an installation artwork about time & space/ memory & flow. It includes visual, auditory, and tactile components that bridge the culture, archaeology, soundscapes, flora and fauna in the Nature Park, and human lives of Guandu to form a unique story. Human and nature jointly shape the landscape of time. The accumulation of time and space has carved a sculpture artwork. Let us observe and explore this world with a childlike curiosity and naïveté. From the distance, participants we ...
