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.

    Hi Mig,

    Haha, can you imagine being his photography assistant?

    "OK, stand here and kick me as hard as you can!"
  • Man, how awesome. Capturing things we've all secretly wanted to do! (THrowing people through cars, kicking people off buildings, using them as baseball bats.)

    Haha, awesome.
