出生於北京,現於香港大嶼山生活。他於美國羅徹斯特大學取得視覺文化研究博士學位,自2013起,於香港城市大學創意媒體學院任教。 透過繪畫、舞蹈、影像,鄭波嘗試重啟人類與植物在美學、情感、政治層面的親緣,認為藝術並非由人類創造,而是源於萬物生機。他的生態藝術實踐標志著正在萌發的、超越國界的地球原住性。近期作品包括杜拜賈米爾藝術中心的「藝術家之園」委約項目《Samur》 (2023) 、第59屆威尼斯雙年展呈獻的森林舞蹈影像《春之祭》(2022)、在德國Gropius Bau美術館舉辦的個展「萬物社」(2021),及香港嘉道理農場暨植物園呈獻的《生命如此艱難,何必搞得這麼簡單?》(2021)。曾參加多個大型國際展覽,包括悉尼雙年展(2022)、利物浦雙年展(2021)、橫濱三年展(2020)等。

Born in Beijing, Zheng Bo now lives on Lantau Island in Hong Kong. He received PhD in Visual & Cultural Studies from the University of Rochester, the United States and has been teaching at the School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong since 2013.

Through drawing, dance and film, Zheng cultivates intimate relations with plants. For them, art does not arise from human creativity, but more-than-human vibrancy. Their ecological art practice contributes to an emergent planetary indigeneity. Their recent works include Samur (2023), the Artist’s Garden commission at Jameel Arts Centre in Dubai, a forest dance film titled Le Sacre du printemps (2022) at the 59th Venice Biennale, Wanwu Council (2021) at the Gropius Bau in Germany and Life is hard. Why do we make it so easy? (2021) at Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden in Hong Kong. They participated in international festivals and exhibitions including Sydney Biennale (2022), Liverpool Biennial (2021), Yokohama Triennale (2020).

Bloom by the Sea

鄭波的作品源於他對自然的靜謐觀察,寄望重新發現人與植物在地球上的緊密聯繫。本作品取材自藝術家居住的南大嶼山漁村內的草木,讓這些生意盎然的植物群落獲得睽違已久的關注。

Zheng Bo's practice roots in the serene observation of nature, allowing the audience to rediscover the close ties between humans and plants on our planet. In this work, Zheng attends to plants habituating in his village on the south side of Lantau Island. The vibrant botanical community by the sea will receive their long-overdue recognition.
