By combining photography with collage, installation art, and traditional Chinese calligraphy, Birdhead's newest book, "Kuang", envisions a "Birdhead world."
This is Birdhead’s sixth book. The book is a collection of Birdhead’s new series KUANG. Birdhead, consisting of Song Tao (b. 1979) and Ji Weiyu (b. 1980), has been working in the medium of analog photography since it was established in 2004. The artistic practice of Birdhead is based on photographs but also beyond the philosophy of photography. Capturing all the beings around them, the two members of Birdhead digest and apply the thinking mode of conceptual art into the context of their image interpretation. By combining the photographic matrix, collage, installation, particular mounting technique and so on, Birdhead delivers a “Birdhead world” in various exhibition spaces and humanistic environment.
The creative philosophy of Birdhead explores and pushes the limits of the photographic medium. Capturing all the beings around them, Birdhead applies and reinterprets conceptual art theories into their image creation.
Birdhead consists of Ji Weiyu and Song Tao.
