Ziyi Zhang’s Family Photo Album (FPA) (2023) is an interactive, browser-based work of art that explores the artist’s “bestie,” a Chinese international student who studies art in America. Bestie eventually abandons her art and leaves behind a body of work revealing her collective family memories. The result is a stunning exploration of cultural and generational disconnect, and the relationship between social class and art.
