8.5” x 11” Archival Pigment Print on Hahnemühle Baryta Satin paper by Zhidong Zhang entitled, “Hot and Sweaty.” Special Edition of 12.

Zhidong writes, “my work explores intersections of gender, identity construction, and visual representations. I’m fascinated by the potentiality that queerness can be manifested, subverted, or even re-contextualized via visual semiotics and representations. These photographs are made as reflections of these wondering thoughts. As a mere attempt as an image maker and a romantic, these photographs envision a queer futurity beyond my imagination, and mimics a proximity to an alternative reality that could not otherwise exists in the present.”
