Tiantian Luo

About

Tiantian Luo graduated from the Communication University of China in 2020 with a Bachelor degree in Art and Design for Film and Theatre. Her work is heavily influenced by the metaphorical space of theatre and the audiovisual language of film expression, developing into stop-motion animation, film and installations that utilise aspects of illustration and photography.

Her practice often explores the hidden but pervasive phenomena of modern society from a surreal perspective, blurring the boundaries between reality and fantasy by establishing connections between the on-screen and off-screen. Her work has been exhibited in Shanghai, London and Paris, and was shortlisted for the 8th China Biennial of Illustration (2021) and Hiii illustration (2021).

Statement

My experience of growing up in different cities has made me very interested in modern urban space, where physical and abstract space come together to form the 'city' I experience and observe. My work revolves around this duality, from the perception of architectural structures and spatial layouts, to the consideration of topics such as information environments, class divisions, personal illness and intimacy. From phenomena to architecture or architecture to phenomena, the two are transformed into one another and as a whole within and in relation to the identity of their presents.
