About Chia

Born in Taipei, Taiwan in 1989, LEE Chia is a contemporary artist who lives and works in France.

Chia is a multidisciplinary artist. Her creation varies across video, installation, painting, writing and projects that include more than one medium. She is interested in the presentation of the continuity between Culture and Nature, human and non-human. She seeks to create works that breaks the boundary of time, space, and species. She aims for a non-linearness in the era of globalisation.
