Lucia Gu
Born 2006 · Nantong, China

I work where the measured city meets the imagined one.

I am a 20-year-old artist and UCL Geography student from Nantong, Jiangsu, and a recipient of the UCL Global Career Fund. Having lived across Nantong, Melbourne, Singapore and London, I work through photography, collage poetry, music and film to trace how cities become memory, atmosphere and personal mythology.

石头没有沉默,
它只是不断重复
压制着过去的时间

《石头》是一组在封闭的日常里完成的拼贴诗。报纸、旧图像和句子的碎屑被重新压合,像地层,也像无法一次说完的证词。它们不追求轻盈的逃离,而是在重量之中寻找仍可移动的缝隙。
