Yu-Hsu Chou
Yu-Hsu Chou’s practice explores the shifting boundaries between existence, representation, and perception. Informed by early encounters with mythology, fables, and allegorical literature, as well as his analytical training in computer science, Chou approaches photography not as a tool of documentation, but as a method of philosophical and visual inquiry.
Positioned between representation and conceptual image-making, his work transforms landscapes, constructed scenes, and digital conditions into spaces of psychological reflection. Through precise composition and restrained visual language, Chou creates images that hover between the authentic and the illusory, the external world and internal projection.
In the context of the post-digital era, where technology and artificial intelligence increasingly blur the line between reality and fabrication, his work invites viewers to reconsider what photography can reveal about time, memory, human existence, and the unknowable dimensions of the visible world.
