WORKEXHIBITIONS & SCREENINGSARTIST STATEMENT & CV

Riley Tu is a London-based artist primarily working with video and sound. Her work examines body politics, self-representation, and algorithmic resistance. Drawing on feminist theory and cyborg identities, she uses 3D animation to explore how technology shapes, fragments, and reconstructs gendered bodies. Her practice engages with speculative fiction to question how communication and intelligence evolve within artificial systems, probing the boundaries between the human and the non-human.

Tu holds an MFA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths, University of London, and her work has been shown internationally, including at BFI Southbank, Oberhausen, Kyiv ISFF, RIFF, and Salón ACME. She was also featured in the touring program The One Minutes Series: Mirroring (Netherlands, 2024) and the British Council International Touring Programme, and has received grants from the Taiwan Ministry of Culture, Taipei City Government, and the National Culture and Arts Foundation. She was awarded Made in Taiwan: Young Artist Discovery 2025, the Taiwan Ministry of Culture’s national selection for Taiwanese artists.
