Liu Wei

   


   
   
Title: Star
Date: 2005
Medium: Flash lights and motion detectors
 
Liu attempts to capture the frenetic and overwhelming aspects of contemporary urban life with his indoor motion-activated light installation, Star. When viewers enter the corridor of oil tanks their spatial orientation and perception will be momentarily jolted by rhythmic, blinding flashes of white light. This sensory assault can elicit paranoia, discomfort and unpredictability, or even the illusion of celebrity.
