These amazing photographs are not montages and do not involve any computer trickery

..and his own acrobatic skills, honed from years of martial arts training

The pictures feature Wei suspended in a string of impossible situations at locations across Hong Kong and China

"I am fascinated by the unstable and dangerous sides of art and I hope my works reflect these aspects," he says

"Sometimes I am in real danger - I have to hang myself high with steel wires and people do get a little worried for me - but I am fine"
