Goodbye 2008 c-print
Reuben Wu whose casual inventories of ordinary things has developed elegantly satirical compositions that are little more than a rumpled bed, an arrangement of snapshots taken from hotel windows, or a still life of fast food. Seemingly nothing special, nothing new, but by doing so he deconstructs it to perfection. The residues of lived time, more banal than pretentious, have long been the subject of his work, which is attentive to every nuance. Wu trained in Industrial Design at Sheffield Hallam University, before becoming a successful designer in a consultancy until finally going full time with his band Ladytron.
