I-Hsuen Chen started focusing on visual arts in the late 2000s after working as a professional opera and choir singer in Taiwan. He moved to New York to attend school and returned to Taiwan in 2012 where he developed series of works informed by his personal experience of straddling between two worlds. If photography plays an important role in his practice, Chen also works with video, installation, and performance to explore how imagery as a medium of communication generates fallacy and obscurity, while portraying the daily history of a place, a person, or subject.
