BIO:
NAIFEI WU
Born in Taiwan in 1989, she lives and works in London, Berlin and Taipei. Naifei is an emerging artist, working primarily in video, installation, performance and other post-studio practices. Centering around topics such as translation, mediation, empirical experiences and cognitive models, an inter-personal approach is often employed in her works in the form of playful and open-ended framework that invites participation from the public.
Currently she is working on the project Semear, which interrogates the limit of words. What makes a word real? Is it real when it is spoken? Written? Who has the power to decide? Is a word real only when a lexicographer compiles it into the dictionary?
Her residency at Zaratan is supported by the National Culture and Arts Foundation, Taiwan.
