Wu Chi-Yu (b. 1986, New Taipei City) lives and works in Taipei. Working primarily with moving image and installation, Wu approaches the image as a method for re-editing history: drawing on media archaeology, his practice traces severed relations between humanity and the environment, examining how colonial technologies continue to shape ecological perception and historical memory in Asia. He is also a co-founder of the Pailang Museum, a research and editorial project departing from the settler gaze in Taiwan’s history toward other societies shaped by settler and postcolonial conditions.
His works have been exhibited at the Thailand Biennale (2025, Phuket), TKG+ (2023, Taipei), Times Museum (2021, Guangzhou), MOCA Taipei (2020), the Shanghai Biennale (2018), and the Taipei Biennial (2016), with screenings at EXiS (2017, Seoul) and ARKIPEL (2016, Jakarta). He was a resident artist at the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten in Amsterdam (2014–2015) and received the Jury Special Prize at the Beijing International Short Film Festival (BISFF) in 2017.
