His video installation It's a dream was presented at the Venice Biennale in 2007 and has since been entered into the collection of the Taipei Fine Arts Museum. In 2014, he co-produced and co-staged the theatre playThe Monk From Tang Dynastyin partnership with the Kunsten Festival DesArts in Brussel, Wiener Festwochen(Vienna), the Taipei Arts Festival, and the Asian Culture Complex-Asian Arts Theatre (Gwangju).
