BRANCHES FROM CONCRETE BY ZHOU ZHENYU

"In my hometown, Hengshui, in northern China, a shopping center that was never completed has been left abandoned. Wild plants grow in the building's interstices. Local residents have taken over certain spaces, transforming them into leisure areas for ping-pong, dance, boxing, etc.

One day, from my window I noticed that a once upright wild tree had leaned over, as if dying on the concrete roof."

Zhou Zhenyu (born in 1986) is an artist working in film and video installation. His autobiographical films depict landscapes and people that have been overlooked in the modernization process of contemporary Chinese society. Both actor and observer of his own work, he explores the relationships between his subjects and himself.
