Lawrence Lek

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