Leah Zhang
Treehouse NDSM - studio 55M2
Leah Zhang works with moving image, installation, sound, and photography. Shaped by her memory of growing up in a mining town in China, Leah’s practice incorporates an inward-looking perspective, just like mining, which digs deeper and deeper into the ground. Inspired by alchemy in mining, Leah’s interest rests in transformation and its ability to shift ontology. She is drawn to the unstable passages between forms of being, where the cinematic, the poetic, the magical, the chemical, the social, and the personal overlap and dissolve, rendering moments when representations fail.
