Hsu-Pin Lee

Born and work in Tainan, Taiwan. A native of Tainan, Taiwan, working artist and curator. Lee has exhibited at international photography festivals and museums since 2000. Lee Hsu-Pin takes a highly introspective approach, unfolding narratives alternately with images and words as annotations. He uses distant scenic landscapes to emulate classical photography, or the landscape documentary images of early anonymous photographers; he matches classical photographic forms with todays photographic climate, deliberately sizing the works, so as to subtly demand that viewers stop in their tracks to carefully inspect at the scene, and to conduct careful readings of the images. The tranquil quality of the works leads viewers to re-think the visual experience of classic landscape photography; taking in scenes with no apparent narrative, easily feeling the delicate traces of the earths changes over time.

His early work "Disastrous Landscapes" has been exhibited internationally, including at the 2016 Taipei Biennial and Photo Paris in 2017. The series is also part of the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation's collection. His latest work "The Scenery Enroute" was also acquired by Tainan Art Museum.
