Biography
Tsung-yu Lu is a photography and generative artist from Taiwan. He has been creating photography since 2013 and is particularly interested in exploring the essence of photography and expanding the possibilities of images through special techniques.
Since 2022, he has also delved into generative art to create subjects that are challenging to represent through traditional photography.
His work primarily expresses and explores how rationality and sensibility both oppose and complement each other, and how they influence his life.
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 the interiors of technological products and natural elements 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.
