overall, a good book. with three different perspectives (one including the artist himself) i found it very painless to learn about him. i personally am a fan of phaidon books, so i find them very helpful. i always appreciate the photographs they include in the book.
Essay by Zhang Huan: Altered States, Published by Charta and Asia Society, 2007.
this was an essay written by the artist himself. it is an autobiographical document of his life as an artist. i found this very interesting and really learnt and took in what he wrote; things about himself and about why he creates, his values and beliefs.
Richard Dale. ZHANG HUAN. 1999.
this was a little book only specifying in his earlier photographic performances. it really helped me to understand and fully grasp his intentions on why he chooses to only use photographic documentation. it was a really great descriptive document, not only explaining the piece but giving in full detail the materials and hours and planning that was made in order to create the piece. details that i couldn't find anywhere else.
