As Chinese artist Li Wei points out, all we really truly want is to be able to escape the banal rules and regulations of this reality.

At first glance Li Wei’s photographs seem to come from either digital gimmickry or are the work of a suicidal madman. But Wei is neither. He’s just fascinated with his environment. His stunning visuals are composed with the help of strategically positioned wires, mirrors and his own athletic prowess. Since stumbling into the art world at the turn of millennium he has grown increasingly prolific, exhibitions regularly all over the world.
