Li Shun has been trying to break through the general notion of photography and create a field that traditional photography cannot imagine. His works are full of connotations and for him photography should always aim to explore how to focus on a certain experience or feelings of images Thus, the idea generates and the metaphor comprehends. and the acceptable visual impression turns to the enthusiastic visual expression. What makes Li Shun extraordinary is his clearly awareness: a part of necessity of photography lies in the attempt to expand the internality of person or thing, tuning the unconscious and unexpected ideas into actual consciousness and visual language-in fact, this is also one of the most basic cultural functions of contemporary photography. Therefore when we look at Li Shun' s works, we should understand his works in an appropriate context instead of only through the photographed items as the context is involved into the representation of the image. Today, photography is not only a simple tool to capture the reflection of the world but can contribute the world something, which requires the use of all kinds of media-existing or to be produced-to judge things independently rather than apply the expressive force of photography art from the inherent concept and specification.
