Chen Chieh-Jen

Born in Taoyuan, Taiwan in 1960, Chen Chieh-Jen is one of Taiwan’s leading contemporary artists. From the 80s to the early 90s, before and after the lifting of martial law (1987) in Taiwan, he was active in performance art. Starting in 1996, he created the series Revolt in the Soul & Body (1900-1999), using the computer to alter historical photographs of criminal executions. In 2000, he began his straight photography series The Twelve Karmas Under the City, exploring the “virtual future”. His use of intense and frightening images to provoke a reflection on the relationship between image and power soon drew people’s attention. He has taken part in international exhibitions such as the Taipei Biennial (1998), the Sao Paulo Biennial (1998), the Biennale di Venezia (Taiwan Pavilion) (1999), the Biennale de Lyon Contemporary Art (2000), the Kwangju Biennale (2000), the Taipei Biennial (2002) and the PhotoEspana (2004). In 2001, he held his solo exhibition at the Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume in Paris. He won the Special Award of the Kwangju Biennale in 2000. Since 2002, he has created video installations such as Lingchi - Echoes of a Historical Photograph and Factory. The films in the installations juxtapose different time and spaces and use soundless images to explore issues such as colonialism, globalization and their impact on peripheral regions.
