After a
decade on the road following the band Ladytron,
Reuben Wu has developed a knack for documenting the overlooked and unexpected.
Wu is preoccupied with the “derelict, forgotten, remote and strange.” His own
transience and inability to make a mark are also themes in the work. The images
have a dreamy, almost visionary tint to them; the places and people don’t seem
real and they all seem to be from a time long past. As Wu says in his artist
statement, the images “subtly confound our perception of what is corporeal and
what is tangible; as unremittingly human as they are impossible to place.” You
can view more of the work at the artist’s website.
