陶辉出生于重庆云阳，毕业于四川美术学院的油画系，目前生活在北京。虽然毕业于油画系，但陶辉的作品以影像和装置艺术为主，从个人记忆、视觉经验和大众文化中积累素材，通过提炼与改造形成崭新的叙事模式和影像风格。陶辉从社会身份、性别地位、种族问题和文化危机等问题入手，以荒诞、吊诡、夸张的场景搭建，充满隐喻和错位感的人物设置，呈现出当代人的集体经验，带动观者正视自身的文化历史、生存现状和社会身份。

《蒙古症》是陶辉在大学时期的作品，对《还珠格格》这部古装经典剧做的延续性创作，为古装剧加入现象、经验与想象，“续写”一个陶辉希望看到的结局，这可称为他创作的第一个阶段。《蒙古症》讲述了现代化进程中跨越地域的意识形态下的年轻人的精神状况，用即兴摄影的方式来控制演员，电视剧的框架来控制剧情；传统艺术和民间文化成为影响作品的主要因素，毫无逻辑的人物关系构建了一个孤立的政治图景，是一部关于自我精神认知的肥皂剧。该影片曾在2013年巴西圣保罗第18届SESC巴西录像艺术节“南部全景”单元、2011年重庆独立影展CIFVF 实验电影单元、2010年重庆美术馆“四川美术学院 70 周年校庆展”中展出。（点击文末阅读原文观看陶辉的作品《蒙古症》）

Born in Yunyang, Chongqing and a graduate from Sichuan Fine Art Institute, Tao Hui currently lives and works in Beijing, China. With an initial degree in Oil Painting, Tao traversed into the art of video and installation, drawing from personal memories, visual experiences and popular culture to weave an experimental visual narration, the focus of which is often our collective experience. Running throughout his work is a sense of misplacement vis-à-vis social identity, gender status, ethnicity and cultural crisis, prompting the audience to face their own cultural histories and living conditions. 

Finished in his art school years, Mongolism is a Tao Hui’s production deriving from the classic TV costume drama My Fair Princess (还珠格格) from 1990s. By incorporating phenomena, experience and imagination, Tao Hui presented a "sequel" to the TV show with an ending that he would like to see. This could be referred to the first stage of his practice. Mongolism addresses the mental condition of young people in the process of modernization across geographical ideologies, with improvised videography to control the actors and the framework of the TV series to control the plot. Traditional art and folk culture are the major influences on the production. An isolated political picture is construct by its illogical relationships between characters. The work could be conceived as a soap opera about the self-spiritual recognition. This film was exhibited at “18th Contemporary Art Festival Sesc_Videobrasil: Southern Panoramas", São Paulo, 2013; “Chongqing Independent Film & Video Festival”, Chongqing, 2011; “70th Anniversary of Birth of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute”, Chongqing Art Museum, Chongqing, 2010.  (Click Read More to watch Tao Hui's work 'Mongolism')
