冯立 Feng Li China, b. 1971

Feng Li (born in Chengdu in 1971, currently lives and works in Chengdu) is a sniper-like photographer, hanging out in the city, using the eagle-like eyes to observe the person, objects and scenes. Once he finds the targets tending to “the truth”, he will close to it and solidify the moment with flash lamp... This is the series of White Light that won the New Photography Annual Jury Prize of the 8th Lianzhou International Photography Festival and the Discovery Award of the third Jimei x Arles International Photo Festival. Under Feng's flash light, the true person, objects and scenes are always gloomy, more closing to the anomalies of life. And this, is what the truth in Feng Li's eyes. He insists that he just recorded the "animals" in city's "white nights". More paradoxically, Feng used to be a government official, and his job was to take pictures and record those photos that we often see in official and mainstream media: bright, perfect and fulling of "positive energy".
