Chinese performance artist Li Wei uses mirrors, scaffolding and steel wires to create these seriously awesome gravity-defying pictures. While some are Photoshopped post-production, mostly they're made through the magic of thoughtful planning.

Li Wei was born in Hunan province and moved to Beijing in the early 90s. He has had his work exhibited all over the world-most recently in the Mogadishni Cph gallery in Denmark. Check out more of his crazy stuff here. [56minus1]
