Tianzi Zheng was born in Beijing, China and living in the USA. That is why she likes to talk about her own identity and the development of the society, especially the situations back in China. Her photos are not just pretty pictures. They are more like the means by which she expresses her thoughts and interact with the world. Currently, she likes to do experiments with the photo prints, like splashing things on the prints, put prints onto the streets to make ‘mini shows’ for ordinary people, etc. That means, she doesn”t really focus on taking photos itself, but more on what images can do to make things clear for herself and the society. There is the performance aspect in her work. She hope they can be interesting to watch and provocative to think about.
Fine arts and photography can open up another mental world in which we can enjoy the poetry and discuss about the real world. They are the warm eyes, making images and thoughts everlasting while time goes by. She wants to make beautiful or interesting images to share her thoughts, her faith and her emotions. She hopes to bring more positive energy to this society, to help people find the truth and beauty in life, and have the courage to think about our surroundings, question them and improve them.
