Pilgrimage - Wind and Water in New York

Zhang Huan's *Pilgrimage - Wind and Water in New York* is a striking chromogenic print that documents one of the artist's iconic performance works, in which he subjected his body to extreme physical and environmental conditions as an act of endurance and spiritual inquiry. The work reflects Huan's deep engagement with concepts of suffering, ritual, and the relationship between the human body and its surroundings, drawing on both his Chinese heritage and his experience as an immigrant navigating New York City. The vivid, large-scale photograph captures the raw vulnerability and meditative intensity that defined his early performance practice.
