Zhuang Hui is a conceptual artist whose major areas of activity include performance, sculptural installation, and photography. Born in the Gansu province, he attributes his early interest in the arts to his father, who was an itinerant studio photographer. After practicing oil painting and then taking up performance in the early 1990s, Zhuang received attention in the latter part of that decade with imaginative installation works and a series of large-scale portraits of occupational groups made with a banquet camera.
