For this conversation, Tao Hui will engage in a “Double Talk” with Marko Daniel, and give an overview of his work. Mostly know his creating immersive video-installations, Tao Hui’s projects bend the boundaries of fiction and reality to address issues related with culture and identity. His works are visceral and provocative, yet enlightening and always imbued with a strong emotional power and a sense of displacement. Ultimately, they invite viewers to confront themselves with their own cultural history, ways of living and social identities. Double Talk is also the name of the video that Tao Hui is presenting at LOOP Fair, with Esther Schipper (Berlin).
