Leah Zhang is an artist working with moving image, installation, sound, and photography. With a background in film studies, her work is a research practice around image and media. Her work usually involves (onsite) labour and extensive collaboration.

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

Leah Zhang currently lives and works in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
