Performance Art: The Impossible Photos of Li Wei

“Though Li Wei used to be a painter, he gave that up a few years back for performance art. These are not retouched photos. Each performance takes place in front of a live audience (I added a photo below to demonstrate). His work is also conceptual, which can be problematic; the Chinese authorities often don’t like his kind of concepts and have shut him down on occasion.” (Tinselman)

Update: Unfortunately, Li Wei’s performance art site appears to be down, but hopefully the link will be back up soon…
