Zaozao Zhang
Zaozao Zhang is a Chinese-born interdisciplinary sculpture artist currently based in Brooklyn, NY. Her work is characterized by strong feminist overtones, manifesting through sculpture, installation, performance, theater, video, and publication. She interrogates the female body as a site of political resistance and self-determination within spaces shaped by patriarchal structures. Rooted in poetic and mythological narratives, her practice seeks to decolonize the female body, channeling its primal energies into symbolic totems and reconstructing a liberated feminist narrative.

The New Goddess: Volcano Monster and Burning
24′55″, 2025
I watch my burning body from a ruin. There's a heat to a woman's form, a fervor only matched by the spectacle of volcanoes and shooting stars. I present the narrative of this myth as a Moving Image, like a river of time threading through needles, stitching around like Ouroboros connecting my back, the story becoming an articulated circle from the beginning to end, returning to an ordinary room, a gentle home.
