Chia-Lu “Lulu” Chiang

Shot between New York and Taiwan, through flood-scarred ground, altered surfaces, and suspended interiors, (formosa) traces the temporal gap between recognition and feeling. The photographs move through aftershock rather than resolution, where external histories, family memory, and delayed emotion leave visible marks. Centered on Taiwan and yet extending beyond it, the project approaches “conditional visibility” as a way of inhabiting contradiction: a state in which pain and attachment, clarity and bodily lag, coexist. Rather than seeking closure, (formosa) creates a space where traces, scars, and residual movement become forms of repair.

Lulu Chiang is a Taiwanese artist currently based in New York. Working across photography and film, she uses images as vessels for traces, emotional lag, and forms of relational care that move between inner life and shared worlds.
