Robert Zhao Renhui
Robert Zhao Renhui (born 1983 in Singapore) is a contemporary visual artist who works mainly in photography but often adopts a multi-disciplinary approach, presenting images together with archival documents and objects in the form of textual and media analysis, video and photography projects. His artistic practice investigates human’s complex relationship with nature, layering historical narratives with fiction and fantasy, to invoke doubts in his audience towards the concept of truth and its portrayal. In 2008, he founded the Institute of Critical Zoologists (ICZ), under which he operated for a number years.
Together with Haeju Kim, Senior Curator at Singapore Art Museum, Zhao represented Singapore at the 60th Venice Biennale in 2024.
