(Germany)
Hsu's works of arts seek to challenge the limits of the viewer and the definition of art. For example, bringing a white rhino from the prestigious Victoria & Albert museum to the busy Bank Street area in London. Or a thin porcelain armor that can only be seen on the opening night of the exhibition. Another time just a damaged armor displayed in a museum showcase in violation of the convention. It can appear like a spectacular jet, but inside the layers of packages is empty. Hsu reveals her hopes, humiliations, failures and successes in candid, at times, excoriating work that is frequently both tragic and humorous. Seeking to challenge and redefine the positioning and value of artworks in the contemporary art ecology and the hearts of viewers.
