Lilu Herlambang is a visual artist and photographer, working closely with the medium of photography, illustration and digital glitch. After finishing her Communication Design degree in Bandung Institute of Technology, she has been experimenting with her visual styles through various mediums and methods.
She got into projection mapping and visual jockey during her stay in Siem Reap in 2018 and since then she’s been working together with various experimental musicians and participated in underground communities events, like ChaosNonMusica(ID), Extended.Asia(ID), The Eye of Time(FR) and Simon Berz(CH).
Her playground is within the organic textures and digital manipulation, combining the two and pushing the limits of the boundaries between imperfection. She distorts pixels through analog and digital signals, creating dissonance in a chaotic interplay of audio and visual elements. Her work is rooted in spontaneous experimentation, capturing fleeting moments of raw, audiovisual expression.
Photography is also a passion, and through her travels she found an obsession with a specific found object : chairs. With that, she invented “The Chairism”. The functionality of a chair is to sit, and by sitting collectively it brings people together. During her travels, she captures wild chairs that are abandoned and are in the most absurd places, yet still functions as a collective meeting space for anyone; acting as a catalyst for human interaction.
Her interest with found objects are slowly expanding. While exploring the streets of Berlin, she has initiated the “Lost and Not Found” project, focusing on items discovered in public spaces that are absurd, lonely, and neglected. Additionally, she is working on “Street Pets,” a project that photographs objects chained to the streets, unable to escape and firmly fixed in place.
Collective work is an important aspect to her practice. She was a part of Gudskul: Collective Study and Art Ecosystem and was active with PSS Duren (Selow Student Collaboration), a collective focused on "artist handling" : developing cross-disciplinary collaborative work practices in researching, developing, and producing various art projects.
Currently, she is pursuing a Master's degree in Design and Computation, a transdisciplinary program offered jointly by the Universität der Künste Berlin and the Technische Universität Berlin.
She is now based in Berlin, Germany.
