about

Travis Yu (b. 2001) is a working artist based in London. Their practice is rooted in their daily life, reflecting on the mundane and boredom.

Graduated from London College of Communication in 2023, they work with sound, video, performance, writing, and found objects to discuss topics such as situational listening, relationalities and habits of the bodies within social, historical and political frameworks.

"History is but a Sullen Memorabilia" (2022-2023) is a body of work that aims to establish a variety of vocabularies on how sound can be embodied and experienced through different approaches to acoustic gestures. It includes the performance "Nobody Knows," the radio opera "Swan Song Pt. 1," and "Four Concrete Walls," a field project comprising a book, field recordings, and a sound walk.

In 2024 they released two LPs, "In the Vastness of Landscape, Whatever Matters" and "illuminance". The former an alternative singer-songwriter album, and the latter a collection of experimental compositions.

Currently, they are exploring new possibilities and meanings in being an artist, devising a new language and routine to accommodate the many challenges of art-making today. They are also part of an interdisciplinary project 'MUON' with sound artist and musician Miles Lukoszevieze, exploring the intersection between movement and sound in live performance contexts.
