Luochen ZHANG 张洛晨 CHINA, b. 2004

“I’m interested in those moments that are difficult to explain—moments that appear in the cracks of everyday life, not as the result of a narrative, but more like a byproduct of perception. I’m constructing a theater without a stage, where both the audience and the actors are on the periphery, and the roles and narrative intertwine. Words and images are the cues for the opening, marking the beginning of the narrative, while also pulling them into misinterpretation. For me, ambiguity, hesitation, and pause are not obstacles in the creative process; they are where the narrative truly begins.”— Luochen ZHANG
