Che Pai


Master of Fine Arts in Studio, Photography

Che Pai (b. 1988; Taipei, Taiwan) is a multidisciplinary artist propelled by literature, slow cinema, and Tai Chi’s physical theater. His creative exploration finds profound grounding in walking meditation.

Che Pai’s work navigates the transformative journey of walking through experiences, intricately linking body sensation with various interfaces in the material world. This collaborative foundation emphasizes the interplay between internal landscapes and external realities, especially the domesticity of daily life, seamlessly integrated into the photographic medium.

Che Pai’s work stands at the intersection of materiality and image-based reflections, echoing historical movements like Surrealism and Fluxus. Within the context of photography, his approach contributes to the evolving landscape of contemporary art by weaving body sensation into the narrative, allowing viewers to physically and emotionally engage with the once-present moments encapsulated in each photograph.
