Lilu Herlambang is a visual artist and photographer, working closely with the medium of photography, illustration and digital glitch. After finishing her Communication Design degree in Bandung Institute of Technology, she has been travelling all over the world and experimenting with her visual styles. 
She got into projection mapping and visual jockey during her stay in Siem Reap in 2018 and since then she’s been working together with various experimental musicians and participated in underground communities events, like ChaosNonMusica(ID), Extended.Asia(ID), The Eye of Time(FR) and Simon Berz(CH). 
Her playground is within the organic textures and digital manipulation, combining the two and pushing the limits of the boundaries between imperfection. She collects natural textures through her journey and blends them together into an abstract form. Her works are a result of in-the-moment experimentations, making all her performances unique and one-of-a-kind.
Photography is also a passion, and through her travels she found an obsession with a specific found object : chairs. With that, she invented “The Chairism”, or an observation to the art of living. The functionality of a chair is to sit, and by sitting collectively it brings people together. 
During her travels, she captures wild chairs that are abandoned and are in the most absurd places, yet still functions as a collective meeting space for anyone; acting as a catalyst for human interaction. Are you then enjoying your private space in public, or making your public place private?
Collective work is an important aspect to her practice. She is a part of Gudskul: Collective Study and Art Ecosystem and was active with PSS Duren (Selow Student Collaboration), a collective focused on "artist handling" : developing cross-disciplinary collaborative work practices in researching, developing, and producing various art projects.
She is now based in Berlin, Germany.
