Li Ming, Nothing Happened Today – No. 2

Li Ming’s video practice is not entirely the product of rational thought, but rather a mixture of subtle perceptions. He frequently appears in his own works, showing an extraordinary facility for using his own body in the making of art. In the group of works shown here, Li Ming’s actions are the string of logic that runs throughout, like a fuse, creating contradictions and letting their effects ferment and, sometimes, totally overcome their real environments.
