Lee Tzu-Tung is a Taiwanese artist and director who focuses on issues such as gender, politics, indigenous rights, the White Terror period, and national identity. Her creative works are primarily multimedia-based, incorporating elements of the internet, installations, and visual media. She has also been involved in various participatory art projects.[1]
During her university years, Lee Tzu Tung collaborated with friends to create "Embrace," which won the First Prize in the 2010 National Taiwan University Film Festival.[2] One of the filming locations was the NTU Building affectionately known as "Dong Dong Guan" (literally, Hole Hole Hall). They captured this artistic film in conjunction with the building's demolition project at the time.
In 2018, sponsored by the Ministry of Culture of Taiwan and in collaboration with the Taipei Cultural Center in New York and Residency Unlimited (RU), Lee Tzu-Tung and Liu Ren-Kai were selected as resident artists for the "2018 Residency Program at Residency Unlimited (RU)." They embarked on a four-month artistic journey in New York, culminating in the presentation of their creative work, "The Impossibility of Form," in September 2018.[3][4][5] The exhibition piece, "#GhostKeepers," is a participatory artwork that involves searching for victims or perpetrators from different countries who were affected by events like post-war periods and the White Terror era, which occurred around 70 years ago. It engages in conversations with these ghosts and establishes social media accounts for them, portraying how these ghosts perceive their own countries even after their passing. Additionally, it encourages the audience to interact with these ghosts.[6]
The experimental ethnography, "Writing the Time Lag," is a feature film that was initiated in 2014. It was exhibited at MOCA Taipei[7] in 2019 and at the Anthropology and the Arts Network (ANTART) at the University of Lisbon in 2020.[8] This film explores issues related to national identity. During this period, the artist delved deep into various political groups such as the Formosan Association for Public Affairs[9], New Power Party, Democratic Progressive Party, among others, participating in their activities and closely observing political events. She also traveled to tribal areas like Taipalang and Makotaay to film documentaries. In addition to addressing political and indigenous issues in Taiwan, the film also embarked on various artistic experiments. This included challenging gender norms in the film industry, with the entire crew of "Writing the Time Lag" being comprised of women. Furthermore, it adopted a participatory filmmaking approach where the interviewees themselves were involved as filmmakers.[10]
In 2019, Lee Tzu Tung created a transactional art piece titled "Positive Coin," which aimed to challenge the stigma surrounding AIDS. By combining the characteristics of "currency" and "disease" that can both be circulated, quantified, and controlled, the transactional method of Positive Coin metaphorically represented the spread of the HIV virus. This allowed the public to experience the emotional journey of HIV-infected individuals through art. The artwork was conducted through an art auction using Positive Coin, generating a community-based financial flow. After deducting the artist's income, all proceeds were donated to AIDS-related NGOs, including the Persons with HIV/AIDS Rights Advocacy Association of Taiwan (PRAA), Taiwan HivStory Association, and Taiwan Tongzhi Hotline (LGBTQ+) Association, among others.[11]
