He staged performances in several cities around the globe, including Sydney, Rome, Shanghai, and Hamburg, reflecting on his experiences in the cities he visited and his ethnic identity in a foreign land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2006, Zhang established a studio in Shanghai, where he began to seek a greater connection to Chinese heritage and history. This marked a new direction in his work, as he shifted from performance to sculpture, painting, and installation. Through creating large-scale sculptures in diverse media, such as ash from local Buddhist temples, and using found objects like doors from Chinese countryside homes, Zhang Huan continues to explore new ways to render his interest in the body and its language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA significant aspect of Zhang's new work revolves around his interest in Buddhism. Although Buddhist themes figured indirectly into his early work, they took on a more prominent role after a visit to Tibet in 2005. There, Zhang began to collect fragments of Buddhist sculptures, which he used as models for massive copper figures. Upon his return to Shanghai, Zhang Huan started collecting ash from local Buddhist temples for use in sculptures and paintings. The use of burnt incense, the product of religious offerings, strengthens the link between his art and Buddhist practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471995945196,"sku":"9780714849249","price":65.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/0a2f7c8d04c790c94678a8110ff625e4.jpg?v=1775692143"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/roselee-goldberg.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
