LI Ming
LI Ming (b. 1986, Yuanjiang, Hunan) graduated from China Academy of Art in 2008. He currently lives and works in Hangzhou, China. In Li’s video practice, one can always see a self-directed working style. As an effective means of expression, image can easily transform the motivation. He is used to putting the idea of work behind the image resulted by mind fermenting, which imbues his creative process with a permanent "impromptu" state. Rather to say this context of creation is a game where artist tried hard to build out; It is better to understand that the first-person author is letting things take their natural course.
