Literature: Cotthem Gallery, Zhang Huan, Spain, 2001 (illustrated, p. 91).
Asia Society, Zhang Huan: Altered States, New York, USA, 2007 (illustrated, p. 84).
Notes:: Zhang Huan is one of the most compelling avant-garde artists to emerge from Beijing's East Village performance scene in the early mid-1990s, widely recognized for rapidly gaining international recognition for the evocative imagery of his photography and his physically challenging staged performance art. His performances, sculptures, drawings, and photo-based works, including many prominent public commissions, have earned him a reputation as one of the leading Chinese artists working in contemporary art today. Across these different media, Zhang examines and questions humanity and spirituality to critically address and reflect upon China's changing environment and culture.
