Huiyi Li’s work often explores the entanglement of mis-function, serviceability, aggressiveness, and particularly focuses on the violence in the name of cure during medical treatments and material transformations in science fictions and myths. Huiyi is obsessed with the certain feeling of disillusionment, which refers to collapse of a make-believe truth. Based on the methodology of archeology, Huiyi’s works situate these issues in a CCTV-prevailed post-internet age and apocalypse reality, reconsidering solders between coincidence and fate.
