ZEBRA ZHANG

​

 

Zebra Zhang has been trying real hard to get up at seven in the morning for a week now, but he did not make it, not for even a single day. It was not because the alarm did not wake him up; it was because he was not happy to but had to force his eyelid to open. And it was because he lost his reason to get up every time the alarm went off.

Or was there a reason.

​

What is good to him to get up at seven. Zebra Zhang stays up to late nights, has absolutely no plans in the early mornings, feels absolutely no guilty about it, loves to sleep. And in sudden, he decides to get up at seven.

​

How strong the reasons need to be to make people do something they do not like; to accept something they refuse; to even believe something they lied themselves. And how practical theses reasons must be. Would ego be a strong reason? How about reputation; and depression; and impulse; and being bored; and aching toes.

In his practice, Zebra Zhang tries to figure out and present the supporting elements behind willing power and self-suggestion by filming videos, setting installations and other possible mediums.
