Sara wu

Sara Wu is an artist who uses photography as a medium to create sculptures and installations. However, she seldom does so in a predictable way. Photography is a step in the process of understanding a given image. She believes that once someone or something is photographed, then the image that appears in the little screen of the camera or in the larger print is gifted with a life of its own, almost as doppelgänger of the original scenario. The meaning of the moment that happens in the so-called physical world is different from that which can be extracted from the materiality of the image-double. When Wu regards a picture, she analyses it thoroughly, truly experiencing it, grasping all the possibilities and features, both tangible and intangible, only to start building monuments to that which she finds in the image, thus giving it another purpose. The experience of the moment, that has been turned into the experience of the image, is, at last, the experience of the object.
