| book description |

One of the most appreciated artists both in China and in the West, and capable of creating aesthetic links between the two cultures, Zhang Huan was born in the province of He Nan and lived in New York from 1998 to 2005 before moving to Shanghai in 2006, where he now lives and works. This book brings together forty two of his works from major collections around the world. These works all have as points of reference Buddhist spirituality and the rituals of Chinese tradition. It highlights the versatility of Zhang Huan, starting with his performances in the early 1990s up to his most recent works, where he uses the ash from incense burnt in the temples and places of prayer in and around Shanghai. 'Berlin Buddha' is a fascinating piece with the ash that gradually decomposes and dissolves into nature, depending on the environment in which it is placed. The works of Zhang Huan offer a new and fresh look at contemporary China and the impact on its most ancient traditions. He gives another reading to these traditions in light of the unstoppable economic development and various challenges of modern day China.
