Hu Liwei

Liwei comes from Chongqing, China where she is surrounded by fog all year (which makes her have fantasies of tropical islands, sunshine, beaches, ice cream, and coconuts). Her stage name is Young Coconut, but she does not know how to rap, and is therefore Young CocoNot. Under the illusion of tropical light, Liwei’s practice explores liminal states—those in-between places where the dynamics of continuity are complicated and themes of separation, transition, and mobility are examined. She works with moving images.
