The London-based photographer Wanting Wang uses friction and fragmentation to question what we consider normal
“The influence of Sarah Lucas and Mona Hatoum hovers over Wang’s visual language, though the connection is conceptual rather than stylistic. Both artists transformed domestic objects into sites of strangeness and political charge, a quality that resonated deeply with Wang when she first encountered their work during her studies at the University of the Arts London. Reflecting on that encounter, she recalls, “The domestic was no longer soft or safe, it was charged, strange, and political. That tension stayed with me.” This awakening manifests throughout her practice, where familiar objects and environments are rendered unsettling through careful displacement and visual intervention.”
