Kean Lu

Kean Lu’s practice explores time, seeing, and the edge between the visible and invisible. In ‘The Void Windows’, five long-exposure photographs are presented with the window areas cut out and replaced by mirrored surfaces, textured acrylic water-ripples and vertical lines, tracing paper, and yellow paper. These inserts turn a view into a surface. Light passes through the translucent parts, yet the exterior remains vague, transforming into a void. The central mirror refuses any view outwards; it returns the room and the viewer. By pairing long exposure with reflection, the series invites slow looking and reflects on our small lives beside deep time.
