XU ZHEN (BEFORE 2009) 徐震 (before 2009)
b. 1977, works and lives in Shanghai

Kevin Carter was awarded Pulitzer Prize in 1994 for his photo The Starving of Sudan. Soon after that he ended his own life. XU Zhen reverted the still moment with real elements including a model of a vulture and a living child. The artist put a quiz far beyond the simple evaluation on virtue, nor can be summarized by the image study system. There’s one thing should be investigated: why do we construct and reconstruct (in proper moment) the power experience by utilizing our visual? The artist questioned the purpose of reconstruction with rebuilding, and the work itself was questioned.
