LuLu Meng

LuLu Meng is an artist in Brooklyn, NY who works across sculpture, installation, and digital media exploring how individuals experience collective systems. Her practice investigates invisible forces binding people together through mirrored surfaces and philosophical inquiry.

LuLu Meng makes work around the invisible forces that bind people together: philosophy of science, mirrored surfaces, systems where touching one thing changes everything else. Born in Taiwan, trained in drama and photography, she moves between media (sculpture, installation, digital, drawing) but keeps returning to the same question: how do we experience being an individual inside a collective? In 2019, she created Totality, a mirrored lantern filled with red envelopes from her parents across twenty years of birthdays and milestones, its contents visible only when light hits it right. In Correlation, suspended circular objects hang from a pulley system: viewers negotiate with each other to move them, discovering that one person's pull shifts everyone else's position. The work insists that connection isn't metaphorical.
