b. 1958, Hong Kong, China; lives and works in Hong Kong, China.

Angela Su’s works investigate the perception of the body and its image in a socio-political context. Through techniques and studies of metamorphosis, hybridity, and transformation, Su’s research-based projects materialize in drawing, video, embroidery, performance, and installation works. Video essays and texts feature significantly, and in these works, Su often embodies different alter-egos, weaving together fact with fiction, and reality with fantasy. The works aim to reimagine the female mind and body to create sites of resistance against injustice.
