Luca E. Lum 

is an artist and writer parsing the inhuman agencies that organize vision, time, death, subjectivity, and world, through moving image, text, installation, drawing, and and performance. She is interested in the absences and holes that makes structures possible.

Through her work, she seeks to recover a more capacious vocabulary to describe the present while reconstituting – in spaces and subjects – dispositions otherwise rendered unimaginable and materially impoverished by epistemic fields and extractive systems that purport to sustain life. Pressing the visual, linguistic and the performative against each other, she attempts to navigate disciplinary traps and enclosures, while accessing a wider repertoire of gestures.

She holds an MS in Art, Culture, and Technology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Bachelors of Arts in English Literature from the National University of Singapore.
