Entrevista Su Hui Yu Mambo
On January 24th, Taiwanese artist Su Hui-Yu's film 'A Complete History' premiered at the Bogotá Museum of Modern Art (MAMBO). The work, filmed within the museum, intertwines the histories of Colombia and Taiwan through a narrative told and inhabited by queer and trans individuals. The exhibition, titled 'La Saga Total,' also featured other works by Su, including 'The Trio Hall' and 'The Space Warriors and the Digigrave.' The project is now set to travel to Taipei for its premiere at MOCA Taipei on April 12th.
The exhibition and film are significant for their use of 're-shooting' as a method to reclaim and reimagine historical narratives, particularly those involving marginalized communities. Su's practice centers on performance to interrogate the weight of history on the body, creating a space for resistance and alternative futures. By placing queer and trans individuals at the forefront, both in front of and behind the camera, the work challenges traditional historical accounts and asserts a radical, collective presence.
