The Art World of Yudi Wu

YUDI WU'S PERSONALSTATEMENT

I am what Baudelaire called a 'flâneur', a person who likes to feel the city I live in, the city and the outside world through walking/wandering and other physical movements. Everything about the city and the outside world affects my psycho-emotional state and I respond to my surroundings and daily activities in response to city life. Using the camera during my wanderings/walks allow me to redigest and reconstruct the visual landscape made up of landscapes, people and objects, and also provide a valuable impetus to my creative work. 
As John Berger points out, "the real content of a photograph is invisible, it can be deduced from the drama, and meaning is interpreted in terms of time rather than form" - for me, the relationships and meanings of natural and cultural landscapes within "spaces" and "places" can be deduced and elaborated from the complex web of people and things around them and their processes.
