WU Lok Hang

1. Biography

   WU Lok Hang (b. 2000, Hong Kong) received his BFA degree at the Department of Creative Arts from the Hong Kong Metropolitan University in 2023. 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 perception, lived experiences, dynamics of (inter)personal relationalities with individuals or objects, and the nuances and unthinking aesthetics of the everyday. His conceptual-oriented practice recurrently 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.
