The ‘impossible’
art of Li Wei
Stunt photographer wows China
Every now and then a hero is born.
Beijing-based stunt photographer
Li wei is one such hero. No, he
doesn’t save lives or foil plots to
overthrow the government. he does,
however, shoot photos like these.
his work is a mixture of
performance art and photography
that creates illusions of a lifethreatening
reality.
“my work and artistic experience
are characterised by a unique
specificity and particularity,” says
Notebook
Del Boy and Rodders:
not required for this
chandelier work
Helicopter’s ejector seat
worked like a charm
the 37-year-old artist. “i am
fascinated by the unstable and
dangerous side of art, and i hope
my works reflect these aspects.”
Dangerous mainly because wei
refuses to use computers to assist his
work, relying instead on wires. Fancy
buying one? Prices start at £4K.
