CHRIS FLOYD recently photographed Chinese contemporary artist, documentarian and activist AI WEI WEI 艾未未 , whose art is variously described as PROFOUNDLY MOVING, POWERFUL, POLITICAL and PROVOCATIVE.
Big thanks to P for the wonderful commission and to all the team who helped create these beautiful and poignant portraits 🙌.
Also featured here is Chris’s image of Ai WeiWei’s TREE (one of several artworks bearing the same name) - “a monumental sculpture assembled from the dry, dead branches, roots and trunks of numerous species of tree, such as camphor, cedar and ginkgo, that Ai Weiwei gathered from across the mountainous southern region of his native China”.
