Chia-Yun Wu investigates the changing phenomenon of the image, as she realises that we tend to think of mediums with certain idealistic and political representations even amid the digital age where boundaries are disappearing. She believes that photography has become a mixed presentation within the development of art, but these mixes are not only the disintegration or combination of forms and media, they are also the symbolisations of the materiality of the image. During her stay at the Nida art residency she investigated the concept of borders, which divide the land between countries and geographical structures.

The Taiwanese artist Chia-Yun Wu focuses on the production and research of the image and has conducted experiments and practice in transmedia. Through the techniques of film narration, mise en scène and cinematic language that reconstructs context, she seeks to alter image and sound into a spatial installation. In recent years, she has been selected internationally to the PROYECTOR Festival de Videoarte (Spain, 2019), the European Media Art Festival (Germany, 2020), Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin (France, 2021) and the London Short Film Festival (UK, 2022), has received a British Academy of Film Awards qualification, and has screened at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (London), Auditorium du Louvre (Paris) and Haus der Kulturen der Welt (Berlin). Her work has been collected by the European Independent Film Channel (France, 2015).
