Thomas Liu Le Lann

Thomas Liu Le Lann produces sculptures and installations employing diverse techniques that incorporate fabric, glass, wood, photography, poetry, and found objects. His practice engages with themes of vulnerability, failure, power dynamics, and the politics of the body, often drawing on both personal and collective experiences. Le Lann approaches these topics through a lens of playfulness, subversion, and autofiction, blending reality and imagination to create layered narratives.

Through this innovative use of form and content, Thomas Liu Le Lann challenges traditional artistic boundaries, offering poetic and thought-provoking explorations of the human condition. ...
