ChunYao Lin
ChunYao Lin is a visual artist based between the Netherlands and Taiwan. Drawing on a background in lens-based media and photojournalism, his practice employs moving images, performance, and reconstructed narratives to navigate the complexities of transitional and undefined landscapes. His work interrogates the mechanisms of spatial control and the ”domestication of seeing,“ questioning inherited aesthetics within temporary and contested environments.
He is currently conducting extensive fieldwork in East Java, Indonesia, and the Netherlands, investigating the evolution of plantation landscapes. By bridging archival research with contemporary local land struggles, Lin explores the transformation of these territories from sites of colonial extraction to hubs of corporate power, furthering a critical dialogue on the intersection of land, history, and power.
