In this Photobook Talk at Photobook Café, artist and PhD researcher HU Yue will share her ongoing engagement with landscape, movement, and place across different geographies. Her wider practice has evolved through years of travelling, walking, and working across Europe, China, and the Nordic region, exploring how human-environment relations are shaped through embodied experience, memory, and distance. Previous projects have traced coastal edges, shifting ecological zones, and ambiguous in-between territories, often emerging from slow journeys, field encounters, and long-term return visits to specific sites.

In this talk, Yue will discuss how these earlier landscape-led explorations gradually converged toward her current ‘Humanscape’ project in Tianjin, a reclaimed coastal terrain that has become both subject and catalyst for new artistic methods. She will reflect on how working across analogue experiments, sound, and moving image has opened up alternative ways of sensing and narrating land, and how ideas of walking, return, estrangement, and belonging continue to inform her practice. The event will offer an informal space to share stories behind the photobook and process-based insights. The floor can also be open to talk about curating, artistic PhD research and other related topics.
