They select real news stories from Wuhan local newspapers, set scenes, write scripts, and then find their classmates and relatives as actors, and replay the news scene. A photo will take half a month to take strong>. p>

From the plot to the characters, from the scenes to the tones, there is a sense of magical realism and black humor-the old man who sold the hydrogen balloon but was unfortunately blown up, the girl who wants to jump off the bridge, and the girl who dances on the street and decompression Insurance salesman … their photos are never post-production, you see it as true, but it seems not true. p>

“Passing” makes their photos often categorized as “conceptual photography”, but the pair of partners think, “We are shooting the most authentic state of China, and these little people are real because they are small. “ P>

Notice that Li Yu and Liu Bo’s photography came from the recommendation of a Hubei photographer. He mentioned that he had seen an exhibition a few years ago, and a news picture was accompanied by a piece of news text, but he felt that these photos were too wonderful, unlike the news scene. The exhibition introduction was placed at the end. It turned out that this was a set of “fake news” pictures! p>

Li Yu and Liu Bo are both from Hubei. They used to work in newspapers and are now teachers in Wuhan schools. Due to the epidemic situation, neither of them had been able to return to work or school, so we conducted a video connection interview with Li Yu and Liu Bo across the screen. p>

The pair started collaborating in 2005, hitting it right together, creating video and installation art together for 10 years. His works have been exhibited all over the country, and have also been exhibited in Japan, Europe, and the United States. When the audience saw the photo, Liu Bo said, “There is a magical and realistic feeling” strong>. The characters in the picture are like dreams, but they tell real events. Fantasy reality is much richer than imagination. p>

Li Yu said: “Someone once said that history is a little girl dressed up by anyone. We hope to put on different beautiful dresses for her to look back at history and see China in progress.” p>

Li Yu and I are both from Hubei. Once introduced by a friend, we started to form a small group in 2005 to create video works. p>
p>
At the time, I obtained a book called “The Shadow of New York” from my friends. The book reflected the scene of many street murders. I wanted to implement it in Wuhan. “Society and Humanity” appeared in the news. p>
p>
The first group of works is called “Thirteen Months of the Year of the Dog.” Without limiting our subject matter and category, we saw interesting news in the newspaper, we are interested, just chooseCome out and shoot. p>

“Shooting” news, but it is unusually “real” p>
