Biography
WU Lok Hang (b. 2000, Hong Kong) has taken up an interest in the conceptual investigation into the (in)expressive potential of images as an artistic medium. Primarily working with lens-based media, the interplay of presence and absence is the central motive behind his interests in the field of photographic art which is more often than not germane to phenomenology, mapping out a space in relation to memories, perception, lived experiences, dynamics of (inter)personal relationalities with individuals or objects, and the nuances and unthinking aesthetics of the everyday. His practice in some way traverses the normally perceived form of seeing and reading images, offering an awareness of the translucent photographic reading and thereby opening up narratives that extend beyond the photographed subjects and objects.
He is presently studying in the Department of Creative Arts at the Hong Kong Metropolitan University, and will graduate in the year 2023.
