Zhang Huan: 49 Days, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

The title of Zhang Huan’s latest monograph references the Buddhist concept of purgatory, in which the actions of the deceased are judged for seven weeks between death and rebirth. 49 Days utilizes 200 year-old reclaimed bricks, reworked by the artist into symbolic images such as skulls and pigs, which in turn form massive, disintegrating, mosaic-like sculptures. | Zhang Huan: 49 Days, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
