Her work are driven by an intuitive desire to investigate and storytell. Her ongoing research projects are genre-bending pursuits, intrigued by the capacity of humanism and spatial sociology.

Her narrative style emulsifies fiction and nonfiction, poeticism and history, creative writing and reportage. She is dedicated to a multi-disciplinary practice where architecture, arts, and letters reaffirm our human presence in the world.

Studio Wenjüe Lu x telos.haus2025
A multi-sensorial installation of multidisciplinary fashion studio Studio Wenjüe Lu at creative event hub telos.haus, the collaborative pop-up featured a “fashion” live drawing, dj set and sound bath. Integrating wearables and soft sculptures, the immersive garden installation emphasizes a slow cultivation and the world-making quality of the artist duo’s work.
Infusing a serious philosophical folly and appreciation for sisyphean labors, the set design tailors to modelling choreography, smells and sound. Stretching into a three-day celebration, this community-centered campaign is a heart-felt love letter to poetic creations.
