Li Wei always wanted to become an artist. He studied at a private arts school, but had to work at odd jobs to support himself later on. While he was then able to work securely as an artist using paint, Li realized that performance art was the only way that he could truly express himself. Thus began his foray into his “action shots”.

When Li began his performance art series around 2000, they were simply that: performance art. The photographs only came in when Li wanted pictures to document his performances. When Li began his “Falls Into…” series, (depicting the artist literally falling into walls, cars, roads, etc.), photography became an integral part of his works.

In order to pull off these amazing shots, Li uses anything from mirrors to heavy-duty rope to rented-out cranes. These elements are then edited out to give a sense of impossibility to his pictures. While the editing process might fall under the Photoshop category, it’s important to note that 99% of his images are done on the scene and the final 1% is just retouching.

i’m still in the process of realizing that i am

across the country

gone from the last two days of my ‘normal’ junior schedule

and

attending my grandma’s funeral

or actually, i already have. i’ve already gone now. it’s over, and has been for awhile.

loss is strange for me, as a hole somewhere deep inside of me, seems to grow wider and wider, larger and larger, but there are no tears or visible storms of grief.

there’s just a hole somewhere deep inside, hollowing me out from within.

“

Nezumi, I’ll be waiting.

No matter how many years pass, no matter how old I get, I’ll be waiting here for you.

The wandering star and the fixed one. Someday our paths will cross again. When that happens, I’m not going to sit quietly and let you go.

Nezumi, I’ll be waiting for you.

May

I wanted to be
the beautiful poet

with the trembling
past

and the glimmering
future.

Instead, my lips trembled
and my dress glimmered
in the spotlight of a man

who
tore
my
words
