ARTIST STATEMENTReuben Wu is a visual artist whose work reimagines the relationship betweenlandscape, light, and technology. Best known for his innovative use ofdrone-mounted lighting, Wu creates photographic images that function as bothdocumentation and intervention, transforming remote natural environments intostaged, otherworldly scenes.Spanning photography, video, and installation, his practice explores thesculptural potential of light as a tool for perception and storytelling. Series suchas Lux Noctis, Aeroglyphs, and Siren use precision-controlled light forms,ranging from geometric patterns to more fluid, organic traces, to reveallandscapes in ways that feel simultaneously futuristic and elemental.Wu’s distinctive aesthetic positions artificial light not as intrusion, but as areverent collaborator with nature. Working primarily at night, in extreme or fragilelocations, he constructs quiet, uncanny moments that suspend time and shift theviewer’s sense of place.Originally trained in industrial design and music, Wu brings a multidisciplinarysensibility to his visual work. He has exhibited internationally, is a NationalGeographic photographer, and his images are held in both private andinstitutional collections.He lives and works in the United States.
