Jiajia Zhang (b. 1981 Hefei, China) lives and works in Zurich, CH. With video, sculpture, and installation, Zhang creates a language of contemporary images that playfully transverse the permeable boundaries that new media creates, challenging our entrenched definitions and notions of private and public. She studied architecture at ETH, Zürich, photography at the International Center of Photography, New York, and completed her Master of Fine Arts at Zürcher Hochschule der Künste in 2020. Her work has been part of numerous exhibitions, including at CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY; Damien & The Love Guru, Brussels; Fluentum, Berlin; Swiss Art Awards, Basel; FriArt, Fribourg; Fondation d’entreprise Pernod Ricard, Paris; Kunstmuseum St.Gallen, St. Gallen; and Istituto Svizzero, Milan.
