Much of Hila Lulu Lin’s art centers on the human body, and she often uses herself as both subject and object in her video, photography, installation, poetry and performance works. Her oeuvre is a highly personal exploration of how the body can be manipulated, of what happens when it comes into contact with objects, and of what these objects evoke.
Her work, which is characterized by a subversive, post-feminist tone, is enigmatic and full of paradox, and fluctuates between the concrete and the illusory, reality and fiction, the mundane and the esoteric, pleasure and pain. The morbid, decadent and alluring world she creates is full of humor and irony, provocative, and highly personal.
