Zhan Zhang-Xu

Zhang Xu Zhan (1988) was born into a centurial ancestral paper-crafting family. The Hsin Hsin Paper Offering Store specializes in making paper sculptures for religious rituals or funerals. His works are full of bizarre, absurd grotesque image expansion, intent to discuss the society and contemporary survival experience, and expand cinema experience, contemporary art. Recently he won Deutsche Bank’s Artists of the Year award 2021 for the collection his animation and video art. His film Si So Mi (2019) won a special award in Animafest Zagreb.
