The blending of the digital world and reality has been a hot topic of discussion for quite some time, driven by the relentless march of modern technology. Lulu Wang, who earned her Master's degree from the Royal College of Art in 2021, has now embarked on an exciting journey as an artist in residence at the Sarabande Foundation for 2024.

Wang's work is a fascinating fusion of fashion design, music, sculpture and sound, through which she explores the intricate and evolving connection between the human body and the digital realm. Her latest exhibition, "Human Puzzle" offers a thought-provoking visual commentary on the essence of humanity and how our interactions are increasingly shaped by digital communication. The exhibition features a range of sculptural installations, performances and interactive experiences, such as live body scans manipulated digitally -- pushing the boundaries of traditional sculpture, which stands at the heart of the show.

Each piece in the exhibition reflects the nuances of body language, movement and the diverse dynamics present in human relationships, offering a fresh perspective on the ways we connect with one another.

"I'm fascinated by merging the physical body with digital contexts, creating impossible forms. My passion for technology stems from childhood gaming experiences. The interplay between technology and humanity is intriguing to me where machine glitches often reveal new meaning. My practice is an evolving puzzle and I'm continuously discovering something new about who WE are with each work," Wang says in a press release.

"Human Puzzle" is open from September 26 to September 29 at the Sarabande Foundation, 22 Hertford Road, N1 5SH.
