Biography

 

Dino Zhang is an artist based in London and Shanghai. Shifting across mediums, his works examine the complexity of Chinese history, culture and contemporary society. By reimagining alternative narrations of historical events, Dino obsesses with building up a personal connection with historical characters. In a research-led practice, he looks for a myriad of insights into the linear but bifurcated entanglement between the memory of the past and the subject gazing into history. Mostly working with sculpture and filmmaking, the artist introduces his methodology of reactivating historical events by deconstructing the meaning of identity in modern-day China.
