Las instalaciones multimedia de Tao Hui son inmersivas y traspasan los límites entre la ficción y la realidad para tratar temas culturales relacionados con la identidad. Sus obras son impactantes y provocadoras, aunque también esclarecedoras, y siempre están cargadas de un fuerte poder emocional y una sensación de desplazamiento. Esto invita a los espectadores a confrontarse con su propia historia cultural, formas de vida e identidades.
