Hana Yejiao Zhang was born and raised in China. Her photography work has been exhibited in China, England, France, German, and Spain. She is the winner of Festival MAP Toulouse (2018), The Three Shadows Photography Award (2018) and the PDN Exposure award (2017). Zhang started working with mixed media since moving to New York City in 2018.
Zhang’s practice includes sculpture, installation, video, fiction, and documentary films. She takes different observational perspectives to layout narratives without making judgments. In her miniature animal hospital (Pet Paradise), she builds up different characters with their own voices. In Zhang’s documentary film Calling the Flowers (57min, 2020), she portraits the protagonist from different storylines - her aunt as a daughter, as a mother, as her aunt, and as a woman.
