Tao Hui is best known for his immersive video and flm works that play on the storytelling tropes of cinema and television, as well as the narrative formats of social media channels. Spanning a variety of media, We, Entertainment is divided into four distinct sections that together represent both a personal psychological
journey and an examination of the broad societal implications of identity as it relates to gender, class, ethnicity, and cultural biases (fuelled, for example, by dichotomies of urban/rural, North/ South). As Tao‘s work makes clear, media emerges as a powerful force in this dynamic of contested identities, both as a destabilizing and normative infuence, but also with liberating and even restorative potential.
