Photographer Renhui Zhao

A pianist in the zoo, i conjure narratives and studies of the relationship between humans and animals. my work ranges from visual documentaries to culture jamming installations. one can say i derive visual pleasure from dead animals.,my work questions the way animals are represented to people today and wonder if the gaze upon animals needs to be reconfigured. i believe our confrontation with the animal is one of a sad painting. and that we live admist animals in our dreams and fantasies but not in reality.
