[edit] Date & Place of Birth

Bai was born in 1968 in Luoyang, Henan Province.

[edit] Education & Development

Before turning to art, Bai served as a Henan Province factory hand.

[edit] Art

Self-taught as a photographer, Bai works with hundreds of ID-style headshots, evoking China's overwhelmingly large population, and sewn into the form of garments, human figures, or mosaic-like grids, some with emergent patterns depicting U.S. currency, a skull, or classic Communist leaders. In these works individuals are submerged in larger formal entities, recalling the immense, depersonalized social structures that make up Chinese life. With equal aplomb, Bai photographs broken housefly bodies arranged to resemble calligraphy.^[1]
