    LIU SHUAI

     

    Liu Shuai (China) is an artist and an insect researcher engaged in biodiversity conservation. He often observes the relationship between land, weather, human and non-human life from the perspective of natural objects such as insects, birds, plants and stones.He utilizes installation, sound, video, and folkloric techniques to intertwine the laws of nature, biological habits, and human emotions and history. Through this, he narrates the constancy and impermanence of both nature and the human world. Liu Shuai has long been concerned with the connections between local and distant places brought about by phenomena such as the invasion of alien species, the pet trade, and human wars.

     

    Liu Shuai graduated from the China Academy of Art with a master's degree in 2019. Liu Shuai is a member of the Entomological Society of China.
