Chi Lin

Born in 1983, loving to get into contact and explore new possibilities.

I became a hair stylist in Taiwan in 2003, and I’ve also been an educator until now. I live in Taiwan. 

In the early stages, I focused more on rather small viewpoint, dedicating more to the dyeing skills, and I usually described my ideas through the color of hair.

As the working style changes, I begin to have contact with fashion photography, learning to sense and observe from different fields. Also, I try to broaden the starting point by turning my creation into organizing photography, hairstyle, makeup and apparel, in an attempt to create the mutual collection.

During several times of business performance and trips, I have some doubt towards the route of communication, coming up with the idea to pursue the authentic communication which can leap over the barrier of reality, and thus get into more contact with words, painting, photography and voice.

I joined Butoh workshop of Kazuo Ohno during my trip to Japan in 2017, and it’s the link to gather the pieces in the past by switching abstract emotion and expressive perception on.

Being positive to more contact and trial in the current stage

1983年生，喜好接觸與發現．2003年在台灣成為一名髮型師，身兼教育者直到現在，生活於台灣．

早期生活重視小的著眼點，將精神放在染髮的技巧上，創作多以頭髮的顏色來描述心中的想法．

隨著工作型態的轉變，開始接觸時裝拍攝，學習不同範籌的觀察並放大著眼的面，開始將創作的物件轉為組織攝影、髮型、彩妝、服裝，共同創作集錦．

在多次的工作表演的機會及旅遊之中，對於溝通的路徑產生疑問，萌生念頭想要尋找能夠跨越現實隔閡的真實交流，陸續接觸了文字、繪畫、攝影及聲音．

2017年於日本旅遊時，參加了大野一雄的舞踏工作坊，打開抽象情緒與表達的感知，開始串連過往的一切．

目前積極於更多的接觸與嘗試
