MEITAO QU
Biography
Meitao Qu lives and works between London and Beijing. From costume to architecture, she is interested in how forms of visualisation operate as ‘props’ to stimulate imaginations. Taking scrapbooking as method, her practice sutures contradictory perspectives to draw out the misunderstandings that inform their conflict.
