Li Kuei-Pi (b. 1991) received her MFA from Taipei National University of the Arts in 2017, and currently lives in Taipei. Her work engages in transnational mobility and labor experience, in which she converts objects created from labor and intervenes in the labor process, transforming the meaning of the products to convey her critical viewpoints about the modern material world.
Li specializes in utilizing objects from the site of labor work before employing means of imitation, reproduction and remaking to entrap the audience in her elaborately conceived works, in which the audience become performers as well as part of the exhibited works. Meanwhile, she makes use of historical clues embedded in the objects to include issues related to the identity of different communities in her discussion about production systems. For the artist, history is not simply a string of linearly associated events but the result formed through a gradually changing process of production systems. The changes in the latter also indicate changes in techniques and instruments. Therefore, one of her constant focus is how to incorporate these changes into her creations while involving the audience in the completion of these works.

1991年生於台南，2017年畢業於台北藝術大學美術學系碩士班，現生活在台北。她的作品關注於跨國移動與勞動經驗，透過改造勞動過程中所產生的物件與介入勞動的過程，轉變商品原所屬的內涵，提出她對於今日物質世界的批判觀點。
她善於運用來自於勞動現場的物件，透過仿造、再製與重新編撰，讓觀眾在作品展示現場落入精心策畫的陷阱當中，成為一名演員，與被展示的對象。同時，透過隱藏在物件中的歷史線索，她試圖將對於生產系統的關心擴延到族群的身分認同上。對她而言，歷史不只是線性串聯的事件，而是生產系統在緩慢的改變過程中所形成的結果，而生產系統的改變也意味著技術與工具的變化，如何將變化納入作品之中，成為作品的一部分，同時讓觀眾的進入完成作品，是她經常思考的。
