About


















Sage (Shu Tzu) Lin 林書慈 is a non-binary Taiwanese artist and director based in Chicago who works across moving images, soundscapes, light, shadow and sculpture. They reconstruct time and memory within specific political and cultural contexts, they reexamine the fragile and textural aspects embedded in language and communication. Sage’s practice extends from two-dimensional imagery into physical materials such as cardboard, found objects, fiber and the human body, where they experiment with the intersections of light, surface, and tactility into space.

Sage’s works have exhibited and performed and screened both locally and internationally. Including Poor Farm, Comfort Station, No Nation Art lab, 破土 New Bloom in Taipei, Taiwan, international film festivals including South Korea Seoul Indie-Animation Festival (2022), Hong Kong ifva Festival(2022), Ireland Mother Tongues Festival (2022), South Taiwan Film Festival (2022), Taiwan Formosa International Film(2021), Taiwan Kuandu International Animation Festival (2021), Russia Big Cartoon Festival (2021), and more.
