Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in the central corridor of the exhibition "V" in a laser engraving machine on the ground by refraction of a mirror in space to form a giant "V" shape. Beam across the room filled with mist, emitting a strong smell of philosophical speculation. As the exhibition title "V" as suggested by, the sculpture as the head of the younger generation, Li Hui to use metal, acrylic, LED lights, laser engraving machine, smoke, and so all the modern materials and media, the exhibition space to create a dreamy, "the current wave of light, the audience of the unimaginable.
Q: I remember the first time I saw your work is "Amber - Dragon", that works are displayed with the Ullens Center for the "V" style is completely different. Your work seems to have seen each presented a different feeling?
Li Hui: "V" is a very simple work, it is only light and mirror elements, and of course smoke. But for me, it is directly touched by my work. In my opinion, work is sometimes like HIP-POP music, in two ways: one is the partial content, one is close to the music. I think the "V" may be closer to the music, I also mold on the inside, because I saw more possibilities, and will be moved every time I do not know why. My early work there is an element of light, slowly began to pay attention to this knowledge and common sense, because the light there will be a series of problems.
This may be my reason for the choice of laser engraving machine!
Q: "laser engraving machine" in your work, there are many different meanings it?
Li Hui: First of all, just a very normal place I feel like you go to nightclubs to see that the performance of laser engraving machine, I then discovered that the laser engraving machine is definitely the most characteristic of the light inside, it's special is the other light source can not be replaced. So I think laser engraving machine should be able to make work. I had to do these works are laser engraving machine to give it a meaning, for example, my first work is done with a laser engraving machine in a cage, of course, it fits very well with the material, because the characteristics of the laser engraving machine is rendered after the people to clearly see it, as solid as it is, but you touched it not there, this feeling is strongest. So, I do feel that the cage will reflect this. That stage or in the exploration properties of the materials. I was the first to give it meaning, and then along the nature of the material to do work. Like to do after the "reincarnation" "free" these works, I found smoke and laser engraving machine can produce a particularly blurred effect. I mean out of the laser engraving machine itself, and look for another feature. I think, is on display the "V" both thorough and very easy to set aside to this definition, simply show it in the shadow space. In fact, everyone sees this work will be strongly feel that part. This is my creative process with a subtraction slowly, trying to find more possibilities.
