The Impossible Art Of Li Wei
Chinese artist Li Wei from Beijing started off his performance series ‘Mirroring’ and later on took off attention with his ‘Falls’ series which shows the artist with his head and chest embedded into the ground. His work is a mixture of performance art and photography that creates illusions of a sometimes dangerous reality. Li Wei states that these images are not computer montages and works with the help of props such as mirror, metal wires, scaffolding and acrobatics.
Check out 14 more pics of Li Wei’s artwork over the various years after the jump.

very clever. We all have our own way of being creative and this has obviously had to have taken thought and time. well done.

hey dogeater,
You don’t know enough about the Tibetan issue. Don’t follow the herd. Meanwhile, just enjoy the art here.
April 22nd, 2008 at 8:11 pm
I think the Tibetan issue is well known, so I don’t care to mention here. But where is the art to enjoy?
April 22nd, 2008 at 11:20 pm
Don’t use western attitude to look at Tibetan issue. Look back to the history of Vietnam and what you do to Chinese people hundreds years ago, using opium to kill millions of Chinese .

Yes. Please PLEASE stop saying “after the jump”. It’s stupid, and it doesn’t even apply here anyways. There was no jump. There were just more pictures after you said “after the jump”.

If the message is the medium, he might as well just Photoshop the images all the way and save the setup work.
The images get a bit boring after the first few. Sort of a one trick pony, no?

i heard he got those shorts in tibet. they were made as an arts and crafts by the dali lama and brad pitt during filming of seven years in etc…li wei must have paid good money for those because i haven’t noticed a fade or sign of age on the shorts. i wonder where he got his shirts. probably made in china? i don’t know, off to mcdonalds.
