Hi-Noon on Re-Edition’s The Best Photo London 2022
“Chinese-born, London-based photographer Yushi Li is gaining significant momentum as one of the most thought-provoking voices in the international photography community. Drawing on the concept of gender binary, the young image-maker aims at disrupting the countless stereotypes around the male and female gaze to validate women’s experiences and their sexual desire. Besides being objectively captivating, her photographs are highly conceptual: inviting viewers to question the gender dynamics that see nudity — whether in media culture or art history — as something more widely accepted when performed by female bodies and consumed by the eyes of men, in her shots, Li portrays white men in the place of the passive ‘muse’. Denouncing both the commodification of female bodies and the centuries-long fetishization of Asian women, the photographer strives to disrupt taboos around the female experience of sex by taking control over her male models in a man’s man’s man’s world.”
