About

Pi-Lin Liu is a Taiwan-based artist whose practice spans painting, photography, and platinum-palladium printing.

Her artistic journey began in painting, where questions of space, perception, and the unseen dimensions of experience first emerged. Photography later became a natural extension of this inquiry—not as a tool for documentation, but as a way of engaging with time, presence, and the subtle conditions through which existence reveals itself.

Rather than focusing on events or narratives, Liu is interested in states of becoming: moments that remain unresolved, suspended between appearance and disappearance, formation and dissolution. Through walking, observing, and sustained attention, she explores how time manifests across landscapes, matter, memory, and human experience.

Platinum-palladium printing forms an essential part of her practice. Drawn to its material depth, permanence, and tonal subtlety, she regards the process not merely as a printing technique, but as a continuation of the work itself. Light, chemistry, paper, and time converge within the print, allowing the image to become inseparable from its material presence.

Her ongoing body of work, The Quiet Axis of Earth, investigates the quiet shifts that shape our world and us. Through landscape, atmosphere, and relational space, Liu's photographs do not seek to define existence, but to create conditions in which it may be encountered.

Time through walking.
Existence through seeing.
