Zhuang Hui (b.1963, China) is a photographer, who currently lives and works in Beijing. As a photographer, he has always been motivated by humanist as well as aesthetic concerns. While his body of work spans a diverse range of materials and approaches, almost all engage with real events and places. His firsthand experience of the political ideals that underpin the New China era, and which are slowly unravelling in the face of modernity, is central to his work.

Zhuang Hui has had several gallery and museum exhibitions, including at the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art and at the Galleria Continua, Beijing. Together with ⎼his partner in life⎼ Dan’er they had a major exhibition at the Three Shadows Photography Art Center in Beijing, in 2009. His work has also been exhibited at Shanghai Biennale 2012, Shanghai; Galleria Continua, Beijing; Today Art Museum, Beijing; Yuz Art Museum, Jakarta; Tate Liverpool, Liverpool; Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin; Kunstmuseum Bern, Bern; Musee d’art contemporain de Lyon, Lyon, among other places.
