• LIU SHUAI

    Liu Shuai is an artist and insect researcher. He reflects and previews the easily ignored glimmers and twinges between land, weather, humans, and non-human life, from the perspective of creatures displaced by human activities. Shuai uses natural materials such as feathers, plants, bones, sand, and venom as media, combining biological and ecological technologies, to show the epic of the microcosm that emerges from the interweaving of nature and the human world through installations, vdieo, and other forms.
    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.
