    LIU SHUAI

     

    Liu Shuai is an artist and an insect researcher engaged in biodiversity conservation. 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 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.
