INTERVIEW
/JEROME CHIA-HORNG LIN Taiwan based artist Jerome Chia-Horng Lin is no stranger to CreativPaper. Earlier this year we interviewed him where he talked about his body of creative work that revolves around water. Since then he has incorporated animations in his work that has resulted in him winning the 4th “It’s Liquid International Contest.” We are excited to talk to Jerome about the implications of this win, how the internet has made the world a smaller, more connected place and his upcoming exhibitions in London and Taiwan. We believe congratulations are in order with regards to you winning the 4th “It’s Liquid International Contest” in June earlier this year, Could you tell us a bit about the whole experience? I started to produce several animations for Art Taipei early in 2012. Art Taipei 2013 is the first exhibition for them. Because animation is so tedious to make, I desperately want to show them as much as I can. Thanks to the internet nowadays, I soon realised there are a huge amount of emerging film festivals
all over the world. It’s entirely a new age for independent filmmakers. I started to submit these animations everywhere at 2014. They end up getting into nearly twenty film festivals and won some awards. It’s Liquid International Contest is organised by It’s Liquid Group in Venice, Italy. In this contest, there are ten categories, my animation “The journey of water within roses” won the winner award of video art category.
