Questioning the ephemeral quality of a performance, the artist published a documentation of an act he did in 2017. The textual score of the performance and the visual material became an independent art book. Suspended between a theoretical lecture and a personal diary style, the publication captures a subjective experience of non binary person who practices sex with gay men. The project poses questions on the place of body in our language, appropriation of sexuality by marketing and consumerism and problems in defining non-binary identity.

Zu Tishan Hsus Ausstellung recent work 2023 erscheint ein Buch mit einem Essay von Laura Brown, in dem sie seinen künstlerischen Techniken der letzten vier Dekaden nachgeht und insbesondere den Wendepunkt Anfang der 2000er Jahre beleuchtet, als digitale Bildbearbeitungsprogramme viele der von Hsu antizipierten Effekte plötzlich innerhalb von Sekunden erzeugen konnten. In einem Gespräch mit Martha Schwendener geht Hsu vor allem auf seine Anfänge ein und auf sein großes Thema, die Verschmelzung von Körper und Technologie in einer zunehmend virtuellen Welt. 

Off-the-grid from commercial galleries – selling visuals – and canonical institutions – there to support the often static national or regional identities– artists instigate grass-roots cultural safe havens in order to deliver the progressive and the experimental. They are fundamentally vulnerable to public-policy cycles, in the voluntary effort that holds the initiative together, in their provision of opportunities, and more. Despite the precarity of such organising by these civil initiatives, and regardless of their promoting of a public cultural vitality beyond the demand of the public life, they are in poor public support and lack opportunities to gain public visibility.

The humanism of the past five hundred years is dead. Believing man was exceptional, it opened the abyss of extinction. A new approach is needed to re-enchant the world and establish the commonality of all life on Earth. This is not just the task of politics and philosophy. It requires the effort of all those who tear down convention in order to preserve what is meaningful. That is, the preservation not just of environments, but myth, irrationality, autonomy, and joy—whether by direct or poetic means. New islands—of thought, literature, art—are already emerging. They are the necessary minimum for this re-beginning. We find these points of orientation, mapping a scattered community that spans continents and disciplines. To represent a world of many worlds, not a globe.

Die großen, grotesken Fotoserien von Anna und Bernhard Blume sind heute wohlbekannt.

Which man? Daniel, Olli, Arnd? My math teacher? No one? Passages that now strike me as too private were blacked out in the process. Today's digital trace masks the analogue trace from decades ago. The censorship becomes a graphical addition, a drawing that pulls together the two different periods of time, separated by thirty-three years." (Alexandra Bircken)
Die Suche war das Thema. Welcher Mann? Daniel, Olli, Arnd? Mein Mathelehrer? Keiner? Subjektiv als zu privat empfundene Passagen wurden im Prozess nachträglich geschwärzt. Die digitale Spur von heute legt sich über die analoge von damals. Die Zensur wird zu einem zeichenhaften Zusatz, einer Zeichnung, der die beiden Zeitebenen, die 33 Jahre auseinander liegen, zusammenzurrt." (Alexandra Bircken)
