Li is interested in the way images cultivate histories and provoke memories, even if their relationship or reference to the past is often nebulous and indirect.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
The works made by Li Songsong eschew narratives, presenting pieces and traces of something rather than a totalizing record, creating new ways of looking at existing information in which the primary and subordinate visual elements are equally empowered.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Through painting, drawing, sculpture and installation, the artist reinterprets the events by stripping them of their original context and intention.
The artist’s goal is to rethink historical memory and push the viewer to new visions and imaginaries.<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
