artist bio.

Ernest Wu (b.1991) is a visual artist based in Singapore working in photography, moving image and digital installation. His practice is concerned with image making to investigate the gap between event and representation. His work gets closer to what the world is, and what can be known, seen, and felt. Through video, multi-channel installation, and lens-based work, Wu explores what happens to an image as it passes through networks, feeds, and interfaces before arriving as something we consume.

Ernest studied film at Ngee Ann Polytechnic from 2008 to 2011 and graduated in 2018 from Nanyang Technological University, School of Art, Design and Media with a BFA (Hons) in Photography and Digital Imaging. His work has been exhibited in festivals and exhibitions internationally in Auckland, Dali, Paris, Japan and Singapore. For his work, he was awarded the Kwek Leng Joo Prize of Excellence in Photography 2018. He is also co-founder and chief creative officer of art, design and creative technology studio SERIAL CO_.
