Yang Zhenzhong is a Chinese artist working with video, photography, and installation. His practice, remarkable for its acute and cynical tone, seeks to challenge traditional notions of social behaviour. Studying Chinese society's mutations, Yang's work notably focuses on disharmony and contradiction within contemporary China. Taboo subjects within Chinese culture, such as death, obsolete familial traditions or gender equality, are touched upon with wit and mischief. Yang's practice is also profoundly concerned with the design of contemporary society and its effect on the lives of individuals. With references to experimental cinema and performance, Yang toys with time and space in visually impacting and carefully edited videos that epitomise and highlight topical symptoms such as alienation or confusion.
