Bing-Chi Wu (b. 1992) is a multimedia artist from Taiwan and a practice-based PhD candidate at Manchester School of Art, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK. She mainly works with drawing, painting, photography, screen-printing, digital and physical collage, and installation. Her themes often stem from globalisation and neoliberal self-awareness, exploring cultural similarities and differences, international mobility, political geography, questioning existence, and so on. Her research innovates collage methods in response to globalisation and neoliberal society. She aims to develop collage approaches that transcend tradition in the 21st century, perform new visual commentary, and provide an understanding of modernity in a postmodern context.
