Hou I-Ting was born in Kaohsiung, Taiwan and is currently based in Taipei, Taiwan. She works across multiple media, often merging embroidery with video art, with a keen interest in the conditions of both past and present female labour within different socio-economic systems. Hou’s work explores the dynamic interplay between physical labour and visual representation while critiquing labour practices in capitalist society. In addition to her individual work, she regularly organises collective collaboration with various groups, developing experience-based, site-specific works that reveal the diverse forms of control and contradiction faced by historical and contemporary bodies in modern society.
