Mao Yo-Wen is a visual artist and director based in Taipei, Taiwan. His practice explores memory, perception and alternative narratives that go beyond rational understanding. By examining seemingly disconnected relationships, he uncovers hidden or overlooked connections within everyday life. Using a poetic creative language, Mao reimagines and reconfigures the boundaries between reality and fantasy, as well as between history and the present, inviting viewers to experience new perceptual pathways and deeper meanings.
