Ziyan Zhang

Trained and practised as an architect, Daisy is a filmmaker, braiding narratives of the built environment through the lens of art and technology. Borrowing film as a medium to research, communicate and connect, Daisy’s work attempts to question established norms of building, unearth the often marginalised, and craft new imaginaries of the quotidian. She is a MacDowell Fellow artist, and holds a Master of Architecture degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her work has been exhibited and awarded internationally, including Architecture Film Festival Rotterdam, Venice Architecture Film Festival, Media Architecture Biennale, Copenhagen Architecture Festival, Vienna Architektur Film Sommer, Architecture+Design Film Festival Winnipeg, Istanbul International Architecture and Urban Films Festival, etc., and acquired as permanent collection by the MIT Museum.   

She is an observer.
