O Zhang
Horizon (Sky)
O Zhang’s giant images of young girls compel passerby. Horizon (Sky) is an adaptation of an earlier work in which she photographed girls between the ages of four and six from the countryside.
Living in a fairly remote part of the country and never having been photographed, O Zhang’s subjects have an innocent, encumbered relationship to the camera and they return a gaze that is remarkably direct and penetrating.
