This is the first monograph on artist Yu-Wen Wu’s multidisciplinary work of time, transformation, movement, and migration. Featuring new scholarship, the publication examines Wu’s practice through the lens of her chosen materials. As she has said, “Material and materiality have always been fundamental to me as metaphors to express emotions, memories, and storytelling.” Released in anticipation of her debut at Taipei Dangdai and her second solo exhibition at Praise Shadows Art Gallery, this volume includes insightful contributions from Wu’s longtime collaborators, offering readers a timely opportunity to gain a holistic understanding of the artist’s subtle and profoundly moving work.
