LUX is delighted to welcome Lawrence Lek and his work to the LUX collection.

London-based Malaysian Chinese artist Lawrence Lek unites filmmaking, video games, and electronic music in a singular cinematic universe. He is best known for advancing the concept of Sinofuturism with immersive installations that explore spiritual and existential themes through the lens of science fiction. Featuring a rotating cast of nomadic characters, his works are noted for their dreamlike narratives, evocative imagery, and preoccupation with technology and memory. Lek is represented by Sadie Coles HQ.

We proudly now distribute 18 works by Lek, produced since 2014. If you are interested in screening any of these works, please get in touch with distribution[at]lux.org.uk.
