Lin, Wan-Ru
ABOUT
Lin, Wan-Ru was born in Taiwan but lives and works in London. Fascinated by the possibilities of photography and videography, Wan-Ru has engaged analogue dark-room techniques alongside digital images and documentary videos. With a focus on process and aesthetics, Wan-Ru has approached topics including dream, time, environment and manipulation of materials, light and photographic technologies, always questioning the possibility of the image.
