Lin Xue is a photographer and visual artist based in Oslo, Norway. He is interested in the materiality of photographic media, working with analog film, Polaroid, and camera-less luminograms. Through these experiments, he reflects on themes of precarity and transience, intertwining scientific insight with poetic sensibility.

In my studio
In my pop-up studio, visitors will encounter a selection of recent chromogenic prints made in the darkroom using various artificial light sources. The space will function both as an exhibition and a working studio: alongside the finished works, I will present the tools and materials used in the process, offering insight into how light, chemistry, and chance interact in the making of each image.
