As a visual artist and scenographer, his work lies at the intersection of theatre and architecture. Utilizing world-building techniques such as (scale) models, game engines, and film sets, Lüschen explores his ambiguous relationship with the built environment.
His scenographic strategies challenge rigid interpretations in public spaces seeking the fluidity of human constructed environments.‘Vagueing', his own coinage, indicates a world-building strategy aiming to queer homogenized urban landscapes and the staging of choreographed journeys within.
