About
Tzu-Yen, Tai

Born in 2003.
Based in Taipei & London.


Tzu-Yen Tai works with everyday objects, support structures, and the spaces around them. His installations, videos, and publications often begin with an ordinary action or arrangement: a measuring tool in an unstable setting, a shelf that obstructs a passage, or a display structure that draws more attention than what it supports.

By changing an object's position, scale, pace, or surrounding conditions, Tai brings familiar relationships into question. Objects may continue to operate, but what they do, and how they are understood, no longer feels quite so straightforward.




戴孜晏
生於 2003年。現居台北與倫敦。


戴孜晏的創作以日常物件、支撐結構及其周遭空間為主要媒介。他的裝置、錄像與出版作品經常從某個日常行為或物件的安排出發,例如置於不穩定環境中的測量工具、阻礙通行的層架,或是比被支撐的主體更加引人注目的展示結構。

透過改變物件的位置、尺度、運作速度或所處條件,戴孜晏試圖重新檢視人們習以為常的關係。物件可能仍然持續運作,但它們所執行的功能,以及人們理解它們的方式,卻不再那麼理所當然。
