LIU SHUAI
Liu Shuai is an artist and insect researcher. He looks back and previews the relationships between the land, weather, human, and non-human life from the perspective of natural objects such as insects, birds, fish, plants, sand and stones, letting the subtle tingles and shimmers of them emerge.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 focused on the changes in local and global connections brought about by alien species invasions, the pet trade, and human military conflicts.
Recently, Liu Shuai has been working in the Middle East, focusing on the ecological issues and other secondary hazards caused by recent wars that are often overlooked.
