Bruno Zhu works in the intersection of fashion design, publishing, and scenography, and is based between Amsterdam, The Netherlands and Viseu, Portugal. His practice employs methods that cut, stitch and write against normative alignments of knowledge production and social reproduction. Mechanisms of desire, identity, and ideology inform the work of Zhu, in which he paraphrases agency, authorship, consumption, and power. His object-driven installations turn the audience into cultural actors who can produce their own meanings. Selected exhibitions include: Everybody is Crazy, What Pipeline, Detroit (2023); O Quilombismo, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin (2023); Chrysalis: The Butterfly Dream, Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève, Geneva (2023); I am not afraid, Cordova, Barcelona (2022); Myth Makers: Spectrosynthesis III, Tai Kwun Contemporary, Hong Kong (2022); Domestic Drama, HALLE FÜR KUNST Steiermark, Graz (2021); and Shhhhhhh, UKS (Unge Kunstneres Samfund), Oslo (2020). He is a member of A Maior, a curatorial program set in a home furnishings and clothing store in Viseu, Portugal
