Set of 9 Giclee prints on 310 gsm Exhibition Photo Baryta paper - 31 x 43 cm (12.2 x 16.9 in) each - Signed and numbered on a label affixed to the back // Shanghai Family Tree by Zhang Huan is a photographic series composed of nine giclée prints, each measuring 31 x 43 cm, on Exhibition Photo Baryta paper. Created in 2023, this work explores themes of identity and transformation. The artist uses his own face as a canvas, progressively covering it with Chinese calligraphy in each frame. The calligraphy, symbolizing personal and cultural history, becomes denser, almost obscuring facial features. This visual evolution reflects the interplay of individual identity with collective heritage and memory. The methodical arrangement of the images highlights the tension between clarity and obscurity, inviting viewers to contemplate how identity is shaped and overwritten by historical narratives.

What is Performance Art?
Performance Art is a genre of fine art that is traditionally interdisciplinary, involving various art forms. It can be scripted or unscripted, random or carefully orchestrated, spontaneous, or meticulously planned, with or without audience participation. Performance Art can be presented live or through media, with the artist either present or absent. It typically involves four basic elements: space, the performer’s body or presence through a medium, time, and the relationship between performer and audience. The artwork consists of actions performed by an individual or group in a specific time and space.
