Chinese artist Li Wei isn't a man who's about to let the risk of dying get in the way of a good photo.

Using wires and mirrors, the performance artist creates illusions of high risk scenarios with the end result being a series of eye-opening, awesome self-portraits.

"I am fascinated by the unstable and dangerous sides of art and I hope my works reflect these aspects," says the 37-year-old artist.

"Crikey!" says me.
