Hsiang Lin Wang, artist.

Photography, performance art.
WHEN
2012 to present.
WHERE
Taiwan and New York.

To interpret the life in-between contradictions – present and absent, silence and noise, less and more.
DESCRIBE YOUR PRACTICE IN THREE WORDS
Contradiction, Obscuration, Emptiness
WHERE DO YOU DRAW INSPIRATION FROM?
Memory.
WHERE DO YOU GO, OR WHAT DO YOU DO, WHEN YOU GET STUCK ON A PROJECT?
I take a shower over and over again. It helps me to stop overthinking, which is useless. It also helps me to go back to the initial idea. Sometimes I do that three or four times a day!
IF YOU COULD INVITE ANY ARTIST/DESIGNER/CREATIVE OUT FOR COFFEE, WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE AND WHY?
Wim Wenders. I like the movie “Paris, Texas.’’ Each scene in that film describes people interconnecting with the surrounding space thus portraying a stunning image. The author himself proposes that all photographs can be the first shot in a movie.
