Liu Di’s Surreal Multimedia Art: Break with Convention

Description

Liu Di’s work with 3D digital video and related techniques focuses on themes long pursued in his photo works; namely, critiquing the conflicting relationship between nature and human society. Abnormal growth underlies Liu Di’s work – an inevitable byproduct of hyper-fast economies fuelled by widespread urbanization.

With subtle humour and science fiction-like stylizing, the artist manages to pay homage to traditional landscape photography and nature photography. His subjects “pose” in peculiar visions of a sci-fi-meets-magical-realism world where nothing and no one is entirely normal or healthy.
