Bing Lu, 鲁冰 (Maggie) (b.1999) is a Chinese photographer based in Beijing, China. She received her BFA in Photography from Massachusetts College of Art and Design and her MFA in Photography, Video, and Related Media from the School of Visual Arts in New York.

Lu’s photographic practice began with long-term, documentary-based portrait work developed in Boston. After moved to New York City, her work has expanded toward abstract and process-driven photographic practice, incorporating analog techniques, alternative processes, and material experimentation. Through revision, fragmentation, and image transformation, her works examine how images are constructed, altered, and perceived within contemporary visual culture.

Lu’s photographs offer a sense of solitude and quietness among the ever-complex digital age. The ambiguity within those images once again raises the question — where do imagery align in the current culture of visual landscape, when much or little the image is able to reveal or conceal.
