Jung-Ai Chu

Jung-Ai Chu stands out for her ability to combine contemporary photography, video, and cultural discourse. Chu organises immersive exhibitions that challenge traditional ideas of representation, reflecting a deep understanding of historical and cultural contexts.

One of her most notable curatorial projects is the 2019 Tokyo exhibition The President at an In-Between Stage. The exhibition featured the photography and videography of Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-Wen, captured by her chief photographer. Among the exhibitions she participated in as a curator and artist in Istanbul in 2023 and London in 2024 were The Dark Side at Boomer Gallery in London.

In the everyday city, we constantly cross thresholds: a step across the street, a pause in the square, a body caught in fleeting light.

These are not fixed landmarks, but moments where time, space, and body converge.
Anonymous in the crowd, yet revealed by a gesture, the city becomes a theatre in motion – where order may hold, or dissolve.

Thresholds remind us: daily life is never mere repetition, but a weave of fragile instants where new possibilities emerge.

 

Chapters

I. Temporal Thresholds
Subway doors about to close, a single step across a crossing, a body pausing in the square—time condensed into moments of rupture. Thresholds are the overlooked instants that decide whether order continues or breaks.

II. Spatial Thresholds
Walls, frames, road markings, even shadows act as interfaces. When bodies pass through them, a liminal state arises: inside yet still outside. This blurred in-between is where urban vision is most alive.

III. Bodily Thresholds
Anonymity within the crowd versus the sudden emergence of the individual. The body is both absorbed into order and, through gesture, sharply illuminated. At thresholds, seeing and being seen intertwine.
