Biography
Lu Tsung-yu is a photography and generative artist from Taiwan. He has been creating photography since 2013. He is interested in thinking about the essence of photography, and exploring the possibilities of images through special techniques. And as a professional software engineer, he started generative art creation since 2022, to create subjects that are difficult to represent through photography.
Artists Statement
I'm a person with rational thinking but longing for sensible thinking. The swinging, friction, and collision between reason and sensibility fashion the essential spirit of my creation.
In “Be”, I combined natural things and electronic materials with color inversion, to express the contradiction and entanglement between rationality and sensibility. In the sister projects "Black Day" and "White Night", I "created" the beauty of nature by using black/white inversion, to interpret my love for trees; in "Night Scene", I also used black/white inversion to express my feelings about the bustling scenes of the city. In the project "On the Round Table”, I used rude methods and odd but real content to record food in banquets. The images of "City Maze” express my state of mind at that time, which were created by putting a tissue in front of the lens.
These projects generally have one thing in common: the use of rational or even some deliberate means to present sensible themes, and I think this is the main characteristic of my works.
