Li Ruoqi (b. 1996)

Is a photographer from China currently living in Fukuoka, Japan. His work primarily focuses on social landscapes and consumerism culture. During his undergraduate studies in journalism, he became interested in the work of Robert Adams and gradually began taking photographs. He received his MFA from Kyushu Sangyo University in 2022, Japan. Since 2020, Li Ruoqi has focused on the social landscape of the Kyushu region and the metaphors within it in his works "Our work is never over," " Monument Road," and "something about us”. Li's work is often fictionalized using images and text, and he believes that the use of images and photographs allows him to touch the surface of abstraction. He enjoys working in the form of photobooks and is always experimenting with the possibilities of artistic expression.
