When asked why he is fascinated with setting fire to chairs during live performances, leading British performance artist Nigel Rolfe said in all seriousness that he has hated chairs after being injured by one several years ago.

He set two chairs ablaze last week in Beijing - a child's high chair and a traditional wooden Chinese one - as part of his first solo show in China held at the Red Brick Art Museum.

The show looked back at the artistic practices of Rolfe's most important works of performance art through site-specific photos and videos recording.
