Wai Lun Hsu is a Hong Kong-born visual and sound artist, currently living and working in Hong Kong. His practice is concerned with how colonial frameworks like archives, chronologies and hierarchies shape our understanding of time, history, and nativeness. His work explores how categorisation in archives become mechanisms of power, particularly through the processes of preserving and constructing an archive, and through the narrative forms of books.

Artistic research, artists' books, imagery and sound art are central to his practice. He researches the relationship between a book's material form and its narrative structure, and actively re-employs these dynamics in his own work. To him, the book form is a democratic and artistic medium, which gives form to the ideas emerging from his artistic research. He has been publishing limited editions of these artists' books that are presented in both exhibition settings and at art book fairs such as in Berlin, Hong Kong, Düsseldorf, Cologne and elsewhere.

A graduate of the Royal Academy of Art The Hague (MA Artistic Research) and Hong Kong Baptist University (BA Visual Arts), Hsu serves as art director at mmmmor studio, where he continues to promote artist books and independent publishing. His work has been presented in international contexts, including Kunsthalle Düsseldorf (Germany), Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum (Cologne, Germany), Fabrik Contemporary Art, Tai Kwun Contemporary (Hong Kong), K11 art village (Wuhan), Shanghai Duolun Museum of Modern Art (China), Soulangh Artist Village (Taiwan), Zaal 3, and Gallery Haagse Kunstkring (Den Haag) in The Netherlands.
