Mina Mengnan Hu
About
A practice-based researcher and visual creator with a professional background in photography and film, who will begin a doctoral programme in design in China in August 2025. Her creative and research practices consistently explore two core directions: the psychological mechanisms behind modes of seeing, and the perception and construction of individual destiny — including metaphysical practices such as astrology, psychological states, and self-reconciliation.
The graduation project displayed on the left reflects her growing skepticism toward photography as a form of technical image, and her weariness caused by visual fatigue. In response, she invited the audience to destroy all the photographs she had taken — as an act of relinquishment and shared agency.
