Sara Wu works at the intersection of photography, sculpture, and installation. Her artistic practice explores everyday objects and overlooked phenomena, recontextualizing them through spatial interventions. A central aspect of her work is the modification of everyday materials and objects. By distorting their functionality, she embeds them in new narrative contexts. The resulting assemblages exist in a space between reality and imagination, forming intricate spatial structures that function as both architectural reflections and visual compositions.
Sara Wu deliberately works at the intersection of abstraction and material presence. Through visual and material layering, she creates hybrid experiential spaces that oscillate between two-dimensional imagery and three-dimensional spatiality. Her work challenges conventional perception by blurring the boundaries between physical presence and representation.
Photography is not merely a tool for documentation but an integral part of her artistic process. Sara Wu captures her spatial arrangements with the camera, then fragments, layers, and transforms these images before reintegrating them into physical space. This continuous exchange between image and environment creates a dynamic interplay where space and representation merge.
Beyond her individual artistic practice, Sara Wu is the co-founder of ss space space, an artist-led experimental space she established with Sean Tseng. The space is dedicated to exploring alternative approaches to spatial practice and artistic collaboration, providing a platform for interdisciplinary experimentation.
