“Zhongjia Sun (b. Shanghai, 1990) is a visual artist currently lives and works in New York City. She is creating images that subvert the language of still life photography as it is used in consumer culture. Drawing on the language of advertising and fashion, her images provide a delightfully humorous take. Her work is full of unexpected material combinations, representational twists, and quirky object associations that combine to create a witty visuality. She aims to capture viewer’s imagination, engage their criticality and question their underlying assumptions of the everyday. Her work has been exhibited both in New York City and internationally, including most recently at the Pingyao International Photography Festival; Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia and Photoville in Brooklyn, NY.”
