Similar Disguise consists of five episodes, each of which presents a character in a different time and space environment, allowing artist Tao Hui to rethink the role of “dressing” and “performing” in people’s identity and transformation. When the series is finished, the narrative paths that have been severed in the intervening time and space may intertwine, creating new curves.
Tao Hui was born in Yunyang, Chongqing. He graduated from Sichuan Fine Arts Institute with a BFA in Oil Painting in 2010 and currently lives and works in Beijing, China. Tao traverses into the art of video and installation, drawing from personal memories and popular culture to weave experimental visual narrations.
