Belonging to the ever-changing present moment through stillness is central to Zed Xu’s artistic practice.
A migrant artist of Chinese descent living in New Zealand, Zed’s hybrid identity and unique perspective inform their performance, film, writing and painting.
Using experimental fiction within a multidisciplinary practice, Zed draws on the experience of existing outside of ordinary trajectories and questions normative categories of identification, expectation and objectification.
Cherishing each moment with childlike curiosity, observing deeply as it blinks by, Zed moves through stillness, bringing the unseen into myriad forms of the now.
