李奧森，導演與視覺藝術家，畢業於紐約州立大學媒體研究電影製作系；2008年創立「鬼丘鬼鏟」，並活躍於視覺和表演藝術領域。作品運用「暫時性情境」，結合擴延電影、現場藝術、影像等形式，關注國家系統性暴力、戰爭與特殊的當代精神狀態。作品往往不設定事件或敘事中心，而是透過空間條件的轉化與觀看機制的重新編列，使感知處於懸置狀態。身體的出現與消逝未帶有指向性，觀者被引導進入具有張力，但意義不明的非線性場域。

影像作品曾展出於柏林索瑪藝術中心（SOMA Berlin）、台北當代藝術館、墨西哥黑話機構（Vernacular Institute）、柏林世界文化宮（HKW）、法國大皇宮（Grand Palais）、歐洲攝影藝術館（MEP）、光州雙年展、綠島雙年展與台灣雙年展等。現場作品則於台北市立美術館、京都藝術中心、兩廳院實驗劇場、台北藝術節等機構展演。曾獲亞洲文化協會、洪建全基金會、國藝會、台灣當代文化實驗場、澳洲表演空間（Performance Space）等支持，並於2017年榮獲台新視覺藝術獎。

Val Lee is a director and visual artist based in Taiwan. Trained in Filmmaking and Sociology at the State University of New York, Lee founded Ghost Mountain Ghost Shovel in 2008. Working across expanded cinema, performance, and images, Lee constructs temporal scenarios that reframe spatial conditions and spectatorship. The work explores systemic violence, war, and strange affective states. Rather than centering narrative, Lee creates perceptual fields where time disperses and presence flickers. Bodies appear and withdraw without clear intent, and events unfold in suspension. Perception is held in delay, drawing the viewer into nonlinear environments shaped by tension, ambiguity, and quiet disorientation.

Lee’s video works have been exhibited at SOMA Berlin, the Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei, the Vernacular Institute (Mexico), HKW (Berlin), the Grand Palais (France), the Maison Européenne de la Photographie (MEP), the Gwangju Biennale, Green Island Biennale and the Taiwan Biennial. Live performances have been staged at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum (TFAM), Kyoto Art Center, the National Theater and Concert Hall (Taiwan), the Taipei Arts Festival, among others. Lee has received support from the Asian Cultural Council, the Hong Foundation, the National Culture and Arts Foundation, Taiwan Contemporary Culture Lab (C-LAB), and Australia’s Performance Space, and was awarded the Taishin Arts Award for Visual Arts in 2017.
